Faced some errors compling the latest versions of DPDK and Pktgen. The note below on the Pktgen repo

`Pktgen: Created 2010-2020 by Keith Wiles @ Intel.com

Note: In DPDK 19.08-rc0 a large number of defines and function names were changed. In Pktgen 3.7.0 I added a pg_compat.h header to help compatibility issues with these name changes. This means versions 3.6.6 and below will have trouble building with DPDK starting with 19.08-rc0 or just after the 19.05 release. `

Mentions that there were changes to DPDK causing compatibility issues. To resolve this compiled with the versions that were tested with, export DPDK version 20.02 and PKTGEN version 20.02.0.
