In my test bed there is no any dropping flow entry generated in the datapath, 
which causes all the unwanted vxlan packets will go to the slow path.  That’s a 
little time-consuming for this case.

It's true, but does it matter?  It would be unusual for a host to
receive much VXLAN traffic that it is only going to drop.
