/**
 * Represents a filtering flow objective. Each filtering flow objective
 * is made up of a key (typically a PortCriterion) mapped to a set of criteria.
 * Using this information, a pipeline aware driver will decide how this objective
 * should be mapped to the device specific pipeline-tables in order to satisfy the
 * filtering condition. For example, consider the following PERMIT filtering
 * objective:
 * <p>
 * portX -&gt; {MAC1, VLAN1}
 * <p>
 * The driver could decide to pass packets to the MAC table or VLAN or PORT
 * tables to ensure that only those packets arriving with the correct dst MAC
 * and VLAN ids from Port X are allowed into the pipeline.
 * <p>
 * Filtering objectives of type PERMIT allow packets that match the key:criteria
 * to enter the pipeline. As a result, the implication is that packets that don't
 * match are automatically denied (dropped).
 * <p>
 * Filtering objectives of type DENY, are used to deny packets that would
 * otherwise be permitted and forwarded through the pipeline (ie. those packets
 * that make it through the PERMIT filters).
