Hi Nelio,

I think the two below should be introduced only on the next patch of the series.

What if the DPDK process is terminated ungracefully? I think the MAC table will remain with all the MACs which were added. 
The next run of the process may have un-expected results.

Should we flush the neighbor mac table also on probe to make sure only the VF mac exists?
