For that thing, I think we do have an ACL UT: app/test/*acl* >The l3fwd application is quite large and includes full L3 forwarding logic, >routing tables, multiple lookup paths, and various >configuration options. >Because of that, it can be difficult for new users to identify the specific >steps required to >define ACL fields, create and build an ACL context, insert rules, and perform >classification on packets. >This example focuses only on demonstrating ACL usage in a small, >self-contained program, without routing or complex forwarding >logic.

I don't think there is a need to introduce a new sample app just for that. Feel free to submit a patch that improves l3fwd docs and/or comments to make It easier for newcomers to understand it. On a slightly different subject: when you replying to patch's comments - don't forget to hit 'reply all' button, and please use plain-text format. Thanks Konstantin
