👑 Detailed Description 👑

RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_METER

Okay so, Traffic metering and policing (MTR). That's the whole vibe. 🚦

The way this works: packets that get matched by items of this type can go one of two ways —

• they can be dropped 💀, or
• they can be passed to the next item, with their color set by the MTR object 🌈

That's it, that's the tea.
