Hi,
    We have the following use case and need clarification on which RTE Flow 
action suits the requirement (ACTION_VF and ACTION_PORT_ID, ..).

We have 2 PF's (pf0, pf1) and corresponding VF's (pf0_vf0 , pf1_vf0). And we 
have 3 applications running.
1st application on pf0 and pf1
2nd application on pf0_vf0
3rd application on pf1_vf0.

We want to direct the traffic matching condition1 from application 1 (traffic  
from both pf0 & pf1) needs to send to  application 2 (pf0_vf0)
And matching condition2 from application 1 (traffic from both pf0 & pf1) needs 
to send to application 3 (pf1_vf0).

To summarize, we need to send traffic from pf0 to pf1_vf0 and traffic from pf1 
to pf0_vf0.
If we use ACTION_VF, it is not possible to send the traffic across PF. 
If we use ACTION_PORT_ID and if we have multiple applications running, then 
port id starts with 0 on multiple applications. So, we can't use it.

So, is there any other action we can use to accommodate this behavior? Or can 
we add new action ?
And if we don't want to add new action, is there any suggestion on how to 
handle this case?



Thanks,
Kiran Kumar
