+Generic flow API - examples
+===========================
+
+This document demonstrates some concrete examples for programming flow rules
+with the ``rte_flow`` APIs.
+
+* Detail of the rte_flow APIs can be found in the following link:
+  :ref:`Generic flow API <Generic_flow_API>` .
+
+* Details of the TestPMD commands to set the flow rules can be found in the
+  following link: :ref:`TestPMD Flow rules <testpmd_rte_flow>`
+
+Simple IPv4 drop
+----------------
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In this example we will create a simple rule that drops packets whose IPv4
+destination equals 192.168.3.2. This code is equivalent to the following
+testpmd command (wrapped for clarity)::
+
+  tpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan /
+                    ipv4 dst is 192.168.3.2 / end actions drop / end
+
+Code

+Range IPv4 drop
+----------------
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In this example we will create a simple rule that drops packets whose IPv4
+destination is in the range 192.168.3.0 to 192.168.3.255. This is done using
+a mask.
+
+This code is equivalent to the following testpmd command (wrapped for
+clarity)::
+
+  tpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / vlan /
+                    ipv4 dst spec 192.168.3.0 dst mask 255.255.255.0 /
+	            end actions drop / end
