[dpdk-dev] Testing vmdq sample application

[ANKIT BATRA]

Hi,

I want to use VMDQ for traffic exchange between virtual machines and
external world. Need to know how to configure vmdq interface and the
configuration to be done on virtual machine manager(host machine) as well
as on the Virtual Machines(guest).
