Please clarify whether your question concerns bridging or routing. If you configure interfaces in L2 mode - bridging - packets sent to unknown MAC addresses will be flooded across interfaces in the bridge.
In L3 mode, vpp sends ARP requests. In neither case is the linux kernel involved.

Does VPP will queue this packet and perform the ARP query to update its L2 table or it will forward the packet to kernel for ARP processing ??
