Current best practice is not to use /tmp for Unix domain sockets.
Move the socket communication to DPDK runtime directory.
To quote systemd:
/run (traditionally /var/run) where privileged daemons can store
runtime data, such as communication primitives. This is where your
daemon should place its sockets.
