We are conducting DPDK testing and have found two issues.

1. The startup speed of testpmd is significantly slower in the os of SUSE
  This issue fix patch has been merged into main, But it has not backported to 22.11.3.
  Fix patch commit id on DPDK main: 7e7b6762eac292e78c77ad37ec0973c0c944b845

2. The SCTP tunnel packet of iavf cannot be forwarded in avx512 mode
  commit 9b7215f150d0bfc5cb00fce68ff08e5217c7f2b3 on v22.11.3-rc1.
  This commit is for the new feature (avx512 checksum offload) in DPDK 23.03, which should not be backported to the LTS version since avx512 checksum offload is not supported in v22.11.3 LTS.
