Today we just learn by doing ARP, and we dont have mac aging or prevention against mac address flooding etc.. Also we dont learn mac from the source packet (if the source is in the connected subnet). ARP/mac learning needs significant amount of enhancements

At least for the purpose of Encap node learning the mac from Decap, it should be possible to combine both Encap and Decap nodes to one single node. Need to think about this carefully if we want to scale mac address learning

Also the Encap nodes on all threads dont need to learn macs and keep it in hashtables etc.., only the encap on the thread owning the interface needs to learn the mac
