The OVS userspace datapath might be very slow, unless you use OVS-DPDK.
see this instruction:

Hi,

You can use OVS-DPDK which is in userspace.
Or if you don't want to use DPDK, you can use:

[ovs-dev] Ovs in userspace

[rakesh kumar]

Hello Team 

I am planning to write few algorithms to modify the switching behavior of 
packets by ovs switch but I don’t want to do in  kernel mode , I want my entire 
process to be handled in userspace .

Team waiting for your suggestions!!

[ovs-dev] OVS in UserSpace !

[rakesh kumar]

Dear team,

Please share your experience of OVS in userspace, I am trying to configure
OVS in userspace and want to skip the Kernel module so that the packet
processing and switching can only be handled in Kernel space.

Rakesh Kumar.
