We have the following use case.
We have 2 PF's pf0, pf1 and corresponding VF's pf0_vf0 , pf1_vf0. And we have 3 applications running.
1st application on pf0 and pf1
2nd application on pf0_vf0
3rd application on pf1_vf0.
We want to direct the traffic matching condition1 from application 1 (traffic  from both pf0 & pf1) needs to send to  application 2 (pf0_vf0)
And matching condition2 from application 1 (traffic from both pf0 & pf1) needs to send to application 3 (pf1_vf0).
To summarize, we need to send traffic from pf0 to pf1_vf0 and traffic from pf1 to pf0_vf0. In this case This DBDF action will be useful.

Length will be update while parsing the string (parse_string).
