>From ovs-vswitchd man page:
              ovs-vswitchd  started  through  ovs-ctl(8)  provides a
limit of 7500 file descriptors.  The limits on the number of
              bridges and ports is decided by the availability of file
descriptors.  With the Linux kernel datapath, creation  of
              a single bridge consumes 3 file descriptors and adding a
port consumes 1 file descriptor.  Performance will degrade
              beyond 1,024 ports per bridge due to fixed hash table
sizing.  Other platforms may have different limitations.
