Hi Gregory, Matan,

Are you sure about this change?

In linux header (include/uapi/linux/in.h) it is defined as:
IPPROTO_IPIP = 4,		/* IPIP tunnels (older KA9Q tunnels use 94) */

And IPIP tunnels as far as I can found [1]:
IPIP tunnel, just as the name suggests, is an IP over IP tunnel, defined in RFC 2003.


Since type set to 'RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_IPV4' in this case
statement, I would like to double check if this is correct.
