[Tejasree] PMD needs it to establish connection between security and final action to be done (queue for example).
 
First rule works on the outer packet where the inner packet would be hidden by the protocol (like encrypted payload in IPsec) and the second rule will act on the de-capsulated packet. So the packets itself are different and we cannot have one rule.

 In IPsec it is valid (and a very trivial usage) to have one outer flow constitute multiple inner flows. Without this, application will not be able to configure hardware to treat inner flows differently.
