Thanks Ben. I just subscribed to dev@ovs list. I was able to take the router back up to the lab (I had been testing it with laptops in my office). With two gigabit ethernet hosts on the data plane, throughput (tcp iperf) is 450~460 Mbit/s. I will test things a bit more tomorrow (e.g. adding 802.11 clients) and if all goes well then I will move all five of our TP-Links to OVS.
I was not expecting throughput with OVS to be 11 times better than Pantou throughput -- I had to double check things to make sure the switch was still OpenFlow enabled and not just using hardware learning switch!
