Hi Justin, OVS-experts, Are you aware of any open source code for such a port to non Unix platform? Somewhere I read that older versions of OVS supported this but I couldn't locate anything relevant.
I'm interested in learning how HW based offload could be utilized to accelerate performance. Given that the kernel datapath is relatively simple (~3k lines) as compared to slow path (~30k lines), I would like to know if someone has implemented datapath in HW (or HW accelerated) and any pointers on performance and/or CPU utilization difference. Are there any HW based that support this? I came across Intel's NIC that has VM based device queue support but IMHO, that is only part of the solution... Thanks in advance.
