Description: This table controls how protocol based packet selection is performed on behalf of particular vdsControlEntries configured on this agent.

A packet is selected if its protocol encapsulations match all of those specified by the vdsProtoSelID and vdsProtoSelParms objects in this entry. Note that the specified encapsulation may identify an internal protocol or a leaf (application) protocol, and the base layer may contain wild-card or exact encapsulations.

All entries with the same vdsControlProtoSelIndex are evaluated as a group, and an individual packet is selected if the evaluation of any row within the group produces a 'selected' result. There is no evaluation ordering defined for each row within a group, and an agent may choose to stop evaluation after the first 'selected' result.

It is an implementation-specific manner as to the complexity and capacity of the entries allowed in this table. Actual configurations will be constrained by agent functionality and platform resources.
