Bug Description

Since DPDK 22.11.3 the dpdk-testpmd application will exit immediately when run in non-interactive mode. This commit looks suspicious [0].

While this is an upstream DPDK bug there is patches in-flight [1] in OVS to change the way the dpdk-testpmd application is invoked.

Until that lands we can work around this issue by passing `--stats period N` or `--interactive` to dpdk-testpmd.
