P4Runtime Release 1.6.0

New Features

• Action Profiles / Load Balancing
  • Added group_action field to ActionProfileActionSet. The group action
    acts as a "base" action that is logically composed with (i.e., executed
    before) the selected member action, e.g. to set metadata for every packet
    that hits a particular group irrespective of the selected member. Only
    supported with one shot action selector programming.
  • Added GROUP_ACTION value to the ActionRef.Scope enum in P4Info,
    corresponding to the planned @groupaction annotation. Actions with this
    scope can only be used as a group_action in an ActionProfileActionSet.
