For that thing, I think we do have an ACL UT: app/test/*acl*

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
