Hi , We are in the process of porting OVS vswitchd to our hardware switch.
As part of the porting we do not want to use the OFPROTO classifier . The reason being: 1. 1) The HW is going to maintain the flows (rules) and we don’t want to have a duplicate maintained in the vswitchd 2. 2) The number of flows that needs to be supported is quite huge (in terms of Millions) and we don’t want OVS to maintain this as this will increase the memory requirements for OVS. The PORTING document does not talk about the changes to the classifier. Is there any other document or recommendation that we can follow to use OVS without the classifier functionality. Thanks and regards, Rishi Raj. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
