Yes. Make sense. This example wants to prove the vxlan packet to queue offloading. This can be covered by rte_flow_create. I will add an sample usage of this in testpmd doc.
And this example builds a scenario for that and does software encap/decap for vxlan packet. OVS is commonly used to do this. I'll mention this in commit log in next version.
Thanks.
