Hi list,

We're working under Openvswitch + Openstack, the kernel is  
2.6.32-358.114.1.openstack.el6.x86_64, and OVS is openvswitch.x86_64      
1.10.0-1.el6.

We tested the bandwidth between the virtual machine (host 1) and a physical 
machine (host 2). (The link between host 1 and host 2 is 10 Gbit/sec)
Physical machine       -  >   virtual machine                             2.92 
Gbits/sec
virtual machine         -  >   Physical machine                           7.31 
Gbits/sec

After
1. Stop openvswitch-agent:

service quantum-openvswitch-agent stop
2. removed flow rules on OVS bridge:

ovs-ofctl del-flows br-eth4 in_port=17

ovs-ofctl del-flows br-int in_port=5
3. removed VLAN tag for OVS port:

ovs-vsctl clear port "qvo8fe2b20a-d3" tag

ovs-vsctl clear port "qvo906d5a8c-c1" tag

The network bandwidth between instance and a physical host reached 9.4 Gb/s.
Physical machine       -  >   virtual machine                             9.40 
Gbits/sec
virtual machine         -  >   Physical machine                           9.39 
Gbits/sec

Looks like mod_vlan_id/add_vlan_id really affect bandwidth a lot.

I want to get higher bandwidth under Openstack, especially for receive side.
Anyone know how to tuning it ?

Thanks.
