Any objection to the following?

# ENCAP rule
tc filter add dev $ETH protocol ip parent ffff: prio 10 \
		flower ip_proto 1 \
		action set_tunnel_key src_ip 11.11.0.1 dst_ip 11.11.0.2 key_id 11 dst_port 4789 \
		action mirred egress redirect dev $VXLAN 

# DECAP rule
tc filter add dev $VXLAN protocol ip parent ffff: prio 10 \
		flower \
			enc_src_ip 11.11.0.2 enc_dst_ip 11.11.0.1 enc_key_id 11 \
			ip_proto 1 \
		action mirred egress redirect dev $ETH
