> 
> A typical use case of tunneling infrastructure is port representors in
> switchdev mode, with VXLAN traffic encapsulation performed on traffic
> coming *from* a representor and decapsulation on traffic going *to* that
> representor, in order to transparently assign a given VXLAN to VF traffic.

> Since these actions are supported at the E-Switch level, the "transfer"
> attribute must be set on such flow rules. They must also be combined with a
> port redirection action to make sense.
> 
> Since only ingress is supported, encapsulation flow rules are normally applied
> on a physical port and emit traffic to a port representor.
> The opposite order is used for decapsulation.
> 
> Like other mlx5 E-Switch flow rule actions, these ones are implemented
> through Linux's TC flower API. Since the Linux interface for VXLAN
> encap/decap involves virtual network devices (i.e. ip link add type
> 		vxlan [...]), the PMD dynamically spawns them on a needed
> basis through Netlink calls. These VXLAN implicitly created devices are called
> VTEPs (Virtual Tunnel End Points).
> 
> VXLAN interfaces are dynamically created for each local port of outer
> networks and then used as targets for TC "flower" filters in order to perform
> encapsulation. For decapsulation the VXLAN devices are created for each
> unique UDP-port. These VXLAN interfaces are system-wide, the only one
> device with given UDP port can exist in the system (the attempt of creating
> another device with the same UDP local port returns EEXIST), so PMD should
> support the shared (between PMD instances) device database.
