I mostly agree with Jamal. As far as the concept of a policy lookup cache goes (which appears to be at the core of OVS), this almost fits exactly onto a u32 hash table. All that would be needed is to add the tail end of the policies, e.g., with new packet actions. However, this is purely based on my conceptual view of OVS, which may or may not be accurate. I'll dig into the patches over the next couple of days to see if they could be easily turned into packet actions or whether this is difficult for reasons that we have not yet discovered.
