hook for the output function for matching interfaces.
The matching function of the forwarding table doesn't actually produce any output. Instead, it delegates the processing of matching interfaces to a specialized match handler. This base class defines the interface of such a handler. Users of the forwarding table must implement this interface and pass it to the matching function.
output function.
