I think the "extra" translations that you are seeing are an effect of flow accounting. Once a second, OVS accounts flow statistics to resubmitted flows via flow_push_stats(), which translates the flow. It shouldn't be particularly expensive, but if it turns out to be we could cache the fact that a given flow doesn't resubmit and skip it. Try "ping -f" and you probably won't see any more xlate_actions calls than that. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
