+Toggling isolated mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
+must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
+is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
+resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
+
+ flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
+
+If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
+
+ Ingress traffic on port [...]
+ is now restricted to the defined flow rules
+
+Or::
+
+ Ingress traffic on port [...]
+ is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
+
+Otherwise, in case of error::
+
+ Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
+
+Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
+ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
+first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
+
+Enabling isolated mode::
+
+ testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
+ Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
+ testpmd>
+
+Disabling isolated mode::
+
+ testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
+ Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules

Sample QinQ flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Before creating QinQ rule(s) the following commands should be issued to enable QinQ::
+
+ testpmd> port stop 0
+ testpmd> vlan set qinq on 0
+
+The above command sets the inner and outer TPID's to 0x8100.
+
+To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
+
+ testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0xa100 0
+ testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x9100 0
+ testpmd> port start 0
+
Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.
