The existing implementation uses a switch with many conditions, that when compiled is translated to a not optimal series of conditional jumps.
With a lookup table the generated code has less conditional jumps, that should translate in improving the CPU ability to predict the jumps. Performance Comparison: All the timings are in nanoseconds, "OVS Master" corresponds to 13a1d36.
