Actions are also (implicitly) instantiated when filters are created.
In the following example the mirred action instance (created by the first filter) is shared by the 
second filter:

tc filter add dev $DEV1 proto ip parent ffff: flower \
	ip_proto tcp action mirred egress redirect dev $DEV3

tc filter add dev $DEV2 proto ip parent ffff: flower \
	ip_proto tcp action mirred index 1
