      Given a system administrator is adding a new OVS DPDK interface using nmcli and specifies an interface name longer than 15 characters,

      When they execute the command to add the interface,

      The, the interface should be successfully created without any errors or limitations related to the interface name length.

      Definition of Done:

      • The implementation meets the acceptance criteria
      • Integration tests are written and pass
      • The code is part of a downstream build attached to an errata
      • The fix is backported into rhel-9.2

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      The DPDK OVS interface does not have kernel NIC, it should not be limited for kernel interface name length(15)
