[Bing Zhao]

Hi,

The testpmd maintainers should also take a look.

> Subject: [PATCH] app/testpmd: use table ID for jump to matcher action
> 
> Current implementation requires specifying the pointer to the table you
> want to jump to in the jump to matcher action. It is inconvenient since
> there is no table pointer shown anywhere in the table management.
> Table creation/destruction uses the standard table ID for that purpose.
> Use the table ID in the jump to matcher action as well.
