[dpdk-dev] Question on VMDq mode

Hi,
I'm trying to use the VMDq technology for pre-filter packets on the 
NIC;unfortunately I found only two examples about this, and both express 
conditions on the VLAN tag, while I need to select packets based on 
their (source) MAC address.
After looking to the API, I find out the function 
*rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add*, which requires the parameter *uint32_t pool* 
(VMDq pool index to associate address with (if VMDq is enabled)).

My questions are:
1) Am I on the right way to achieve my goal?
2) How is it realized the mapping pools/queues?

Regards,

     Mauro
