+/* Action structure for NXAST_AUTOPATH.
+ *
+ * This action performs the following steps in sequence:
+ *
+ * 1. Hashes the flow using an implementation-defined hash function.
+ *
+ * The hashed fields' values are drawn from the current state of the
+ * flow, including all modifications that have been made by actions up to
+ * this point.
+ *
+ * 2. Selects an OpenFlow 'port'.
+ *
+ * 'port' is selected in an implementation-defined manner, taking into
+ * account 'id' and the hash value calculated in step 1.
+ *
+ * Generally a switch will have been configured with a set of ports that
+ * may be chosen given 'id'. The switch may take into account any number
+ * of factors when choosing 'port' from its configured set. Factors may
+ * include carrier, load, and the results of configuration protocols such
+ * as LACP.
+ *
+ * 3. Stores 'port' in dst[ofs:ofs+n_bits].
+ *
+ * The format and semantics of 'dst' and 'ofs_nbits' are similar to those
+ * for the NXAST_REG_LOAD action, except that 'dst' must be
+ * NXM_NX_REG(idx) for 'idx' in the switch's supported range.
+ *
+ * The switch will reject actions in which ofs+n_bits is greater than the width
+ * of 'dst', with error type OFPET_BAD_ACTION, code OFPBAC_BAD_ARGUMENT.
