And thanks a lot for the review.

Sorry, I am not aware that it can be omitted.
For MAC/VLAN and tunnel mode it does not and will not allow any
meaningless string.
At least that was my intention :)

The cmdline parser expects "... flexbytes (flexbytes_value) (drop|fwd)
queue ..." .
This is what is documented [1] and the command's cmdline_parse_inst_t
[2] matches this.
If you put something in-between "(drop|fwd)" and "queue" it is
rejected by the parser
in librte_cmdline.

> In MAC_VLAN or TUNNEL mode, why not just use pf.

With the current code, because if you write that in the command, it is
rejected by the parser :)

Do you mean it would be preferable to make these commands always take
such an argument,
and only at the NIC driver check that it must equal PF for MAC_VLAN or
TUNNEL mode?
The command becomes a bit more complicated for the current intel
NIC's, but as I understand
it currently does not work anyway. Unless I'm missing something else.

Laudable goal! My excuses but it's beyond my current skills and bandwith :/
