Hi 

Firstly compiling the application
1. Go to the examples directory:
export RTE_SDK=/path/to/rte_sdk
cd ${RTE_SDK}/examples/vmdq
2. Set the target (a default target is used if not specified). For example:
export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
See the Intel® DPDK Getting Started Guide for possible RTE_TARGET values.
3. Build the application:
make

Then running the application
To run the example in a linuxapp environment:
user at target:~$ ./build/vmdq_app -c f -n 4 -- --nb-pools 8

If you use 1G NIC, 8 pools are available,
If you use 10G NIC, 64 pools are available,

At last, send packets with vlan tag to select a pool.

The vlan tag and pool has the following mapping:
const uint16_t vlan_tags[] = {
        0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,        // It occupies pool 0 ~ pool 7, one for each
        8,  9, 10, 11,  12, 13, 14, 15,     // It occupies pool 8 ~ pool 15, one for each
        16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23,    // It occupies pool 16 ~ pool 23, one for each
        24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31,    // It occupies pool 24 ~ pool 31, one for each
        32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39,    // It occupies pool 32 ~ pool 39, one for each
        40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47,    // It occupies pool 40 ~ pool 47, one for each
        48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55,    // It occupies pool 48 ~ pool 55, one for each
        56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63,    // It occupies pool 56 ~ pool 63, one for each
};

Thanks
