Optimizing Fabric Path (Abstracted Fabric Interface)

Optimize the fabric path of the traffic flowing over the abstracted fabric (af) interfaces between two guest network functions (GNFs), by configuring a fabric optimization mode (monitor or optimize). This feature reduces fabric bandwidth consumption by preventing any additional fabric hop (switching of traffic flows from one Packet Forwarding Engine to another because of Abstracted Fabric interface load balancing) before the packets eventually reach the destination Packet Forwarding Engine.
