Hi Yanqin && all:
I have studied this ppt && vedio, and tried in my own environment. The
result is in 100K mac-ip PVP test scenario, when EM_FLOW_HASH_SHIFT == 17(emc
entry num is 130K+), the performance can still maintain(a little decline than
10K mac-ip scenario). My formal conclusion is wrong as I didn't notice that if
I generate 100K mac-ip flows , then the mac-table-entry num in ovs bridge
should be enlarge simultaneously(I use the auto learn flow entries)
I also tested scenario that smc is enabled and emc disabled. My result is
pure smc performance is slightly not good as emc.(100K mac-ip flows, pkt size
is 64 bytes, 4pmd lcores , 10G nic , PVP test, smc can reach 3.7G throughput,
latency is 56us. For emc throughput is 4G , latency 51us )
My question is: should emc entry num get enlarged ? Are there any drawbacks
if emc entry is larger than 100K ?

There is a interesting topic in Open vSwitch 2018 Fall Conference maybe helpful
for you. It shows EMC/SMC behave different performance in high concurrency case.
For your case, SMC may be more helpful.

Thanks，Flavio:
So there are two questions:
1. Is dpcls lookup More efficiency than EMC?
2. If I just want to enlarge emc entry num by change EM_FLOW_HASH_SHIFT
value, are there any drawbacks ?

Perhaps you could consider disabling EMC if its size is not enough.
