After the dissemination of the last model draft in February (draft-ietf-forces-model-02.txt), we got many very useful comments. Thanks. One topic that generated lots of questions was the concept of LFB inputs and outputs. It became obvious to us that in 02 we did not do a good job explaining the proposed LFB input/output model. Attached is a fully revised version of the relevant subsections of 02 (3.2.1 and 3.2.2). Hopefully this text conveys the design intent much better.

3.2.1. LFB Outputs A LFB output is a conceptual port on a LFB that can send information to some other LFB. The information is typically a packet and associated metadata, although in some cases it might consist of only metadata, i.e., with no packet data. A single LFB output can be connected to only one LFB input. This is required to make the packet flow through the LFB topology unambiguous.(Continue reading)
