The feature adds support for redirecting traffic matching on traffic policy rules applied to an egress interface to a specified next-hop or next-hop group. This feature requires the packet to be recirculated a second time through the packet forwarding pipeline to get its configured single or multiple next-hops to be resolved. This is achieved by configuring traffic-policy with redirect interface action applied on egress interface in conjunction with ingress redirect next-hop action applied on the recirculation interface. Redirect interface action is used to forward the egressing packet through an interface on which traffic loop-back ( a.k.a recirculation ) is enabled.
