I understand the motivation for the decap action. However, what would
happen if someone does not include it?

Borrowing your example from the cover letter and modifying it, what
would happen in the following case?

$ tc filter add dev vxlan0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
    flower \
  	  enc_src_ip 11.11.0.2 \
  		enc_dst_ip 11.11.0.1 \
  		enc_key_id 11 \
  	  action mirred egress redirect dev vnet0

Thanks,

 Jiri
