Hi, I am using OVS 2.0.1 inside a mininet emulation testbed. Since I am focusing on performance related questions, I was wondering if there is a way to force the OVS to directly install a flow rule send along with a flow mod message from the controller directly into the kernel instead of just storing it into the user space until a matching packet arrives at the switch. I am using the Ryu Framework (https://github.com/osrg/ryu) as a controller.
Some background: I want to investigate on the possible performance in terms of flow modifications per second achievable, in a scenario where the switch is under a certain load, therefore I assume that each flow rule will be needed in the kernel shortly after installing the flow rule into the switch. I appreciate your comments on this! -- Kind regards, Sascha _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
