If the table is part of the pipeline, it is not safe. i.e. the table is not threadsafe.
You can use a control message ring to add entries to the table in an
asynchronous manner. Your main dpdk loop would then periodically handle
these messages. There are examples of this in Intel DPDK vSwitch (https://github.com/01org/dpdk-ovs)
and also, I think, in the DPDK ip_pipeline sample application.
