These numbers are just placeholders, they don't correspond to any actual speed. > I dont know whether i am understanding it correctly ovs-ofctl show dhcp > shows 10 MBps,but iperf between two vms show 672 Megabytes. > > Why would there is difference between announced and actual capacity. > also is it possible to create isolated bridge with higher capacity. The speed of the CPU determines the actual rate that traffic is forwarded. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
