Hi, Thank you for the quick answer! I'm actually using it without VM's. It's an experiment with three "real" computers. One machine with ovs acting as switch, the other machines are connected to the ovs-machine, each on a separate nic. (controller runs at a fourth machine, but that's probably not relevant)
So it's all bare metal :) Kind regards, Tim 2013/3/6 Gurucharan Shetty <[email protected]> > On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 7:14 AM, Tmusic <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I'm running ovs on Ubuntu 11.04 and noticed that it can process max. > 200Mbps > > (NIC's are gigabit). > That is quite low.
