Hi Kadem,<br>
<br>
can you perhaps share what systems you are using that do not have AVX2<br>
support? Do you do new deployments with latest DPDK on those systems?<br>
However, if it helps, we can defer this patch till after 25.11<br>
release, so that we have one more LTS with SSE support still in it. That<br>
would mean that we have a supported DPDK release with SSE in it until<br>
potentially end of 2028. As it stands, even if this patch goes into the<br>
release, 24.11 will be supported till end of 2027.<br>
<br>
