Also, if we consider the perspective when such CLI may be used, there are more 
properties than just forwarding in
The physical system.  To let backend process be clear which container/LR to 
assign this forwarding
Table,  LR <name_of_logical_container | namespace_in_linux_as_example> table_id 
<ID> might be less confusing.

Thanks,

Andrew

I think of "LR: logical router" as something more than a table. i.e, a 
collection of logical tables might serve the same logical router, just like a 
physical router might have multiple routing tables. So I suggest LR to mean 
Logical Routing table, if LRF: Logical Routing and Forwarding table is too 
long.  :)
