/**
 * Represents a filtering flow objective. Each filtering flow objective
 * is made up of a key (criterion) to a set of criteria. Using this information
 * a pipeline aware driver will decide how this objective should be mapped
 * to the specific device pipeline. For example, consider the following
 * filtering objective:
 *
 * portX -> {MAC1, IP1, MAC2}
 *
 * The driver could decide to pass L3 packet to the L3 table and L2 packets to
 * the L2 table for packets arriving on portX.
 *
 * Filtering objectives do not only represent what should be permitted into the
 * pipeline but can also be used to deny or drop unwanted packets by specifying
 * the appropriate type of filtering objective. It is also important to note
 * that submitting a filtering objective does not necessarily result in rules
 * programmed at the switch, the driver is free to decide when these rules are
 * programmed. For example, a filtering rule may only be programmed once a
 * corresponding forwarding objective has been received.
