add two dpdk port to ovs bridge
add two vhostuser port to ovs bridge
inside guest, start testpmd forward packet
On trex side, send rfc2544 traffic.
 

 Expected Behavior: Describe what should happen under normal circumstances.

All cases got normal performance
 

 Observed Behavior: Explain what actually happens.

some cases got low performance, such following job of openvswitch3.5-3.5.1-42.el9fdp.
