Think I found it :)

I first used ovs in userspace and then changed my script to use the kernel
module, however "ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev" was still
called. I didn't notice the difference in the INSTALL files. Now I get
850Mbps and more at low CPU usage. Sorry for bothering you...
Just to clarify the 16 packets: I didn't run any performance tests after
the reboot, only ping

What are the possible values for datapath_type? Can't seem to find more
information about that option...

Kind regards,

Tim
