Hi Zhiwei,
Looking at the source code, OVS seems to limit the flow number to
max 200,000. Setting flow-limit larger than 200,000 will be capped
to 200,000.
At udpif_revalidator,
flow_limit = MIN(ofproto_flow_limit, MAX(flow_limit, 1000));
and ofproto_flow_limit is 200,000
user can set 'flow_limit' to any value, but in the end
flow_limit is between 1000 to 200,000
If you want to experiment, try increase it to 400,000
