Not sure if this is a bug. There is a problem with a feature I've been
trying(openvswitch 2.1.0+git20140411-3) with "port mirroring". The main
issue I'm having with is that it "delays"(buffers with indefinite time
lapses) until a "threshold" of traffic is reached for it to "release".
My initial thought is port mirroring should have no time delays so the
question I have is whether there is a configuration issue at bay or if
there is indeed a problem with ovs.
A simple test of 2 VM(one a monitor, the other being monitored) with
each a tap device to a bridge is set. All traffic gets passed to the
monitoring VM station but only in timely intervals rather than a
continuous passing of packets. As long as the network is "saturated",
the passing of packets is continuous. If a few packets are sent, it
stays in a queue indefinitely until the network once again becomes
saturated.. The problem is there will always be some packets left in a
queue which is what I don't want.
Any feedback appreciated, thanks.
