   In test setups where an Ethernet port of a Cisco adapter in TRUNK mode is
   connected point-to-point to another adapter port or connected though a router
   instead of a switch, all ingress packets will be VLAN tagged. Programs such

-  an example of how to accomplish this:

+Another alternative is modify the adapter's ingress VLAN rewrite mode so that
+packets with the default VLAN tag are stripped by the adapter and presented to
+DPDK as untagged packets. In this case mbuf->vlan_tci and the PKT_RX_VLAN and
+PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED mbuf flags would not be set. This mode is enabled with the
