I'd love to hear this.

I also find it rather strange that we need to configure tunnel PFE in trio
platforms. As I understand trio implements legacy-hardware's limitation, so
you actually do push tunneled packets inefficiently across fabric to
specific PFE for decap/encap, rather than to do the obvious and do
encap/decap at the trio where packet happens to hit, saving lookup and
fabric round-trip.
