Hi,
I don't know if this is a good general rule.
If the feature is distinct then a new sample application is appropriate. Grouping too much functionality into a single sample app makes them less useful as reference implementations of different DPDK functionality. The l2fwd application, for example, has become cluttered with different functionality.
John.
