You must mean DPDK 17.11.3 and Pktgen as Pktgen does not have a version number of 17.11.3. What is the version of Pktgen you are using?

The next thing I would like you ask is if you can more to using the latest Pktgen and latest DPDK?
With my limited time I try to only debug latest DPDK and latest Pktgen. Using the latest versions Pktgen should work and you can still use DPDK 17.11.3 for your application if you need. The only reason to use and old version of DPDK/Pktgen is some driver version or OS version requires you to use these older versions.
