We try to restart the ovs-vswitchd with no change. We also try to
switch from virtio net driver to e1000 driver same problem. Each time
the VM is poweroff/destroy, its tap devices are removed from ovs and
then recreated with same port name at vm creation.
Restarting/destroying the VM doesn't solve the problem. The problem is
hard to diagnose because it's not static, we can't reproduce it at
will. When a port is removed, and then a new one is created but with
the same name, does it "inherit" the old datapath of the previous
port?

The slowness/packet loss seems to occur when the hypervisor is having
some IO stress. We don't have the problem on the first couple of VM we
install on the host. It occurs more often when we already have few vms
which are using the network thru ovs.

The ratio between hit and missed values in ovs-dpctl is the same in
both case (normal and slow network). The slowness only impact some
port on the vswitched. Other VMs on the same vswitchd keep working
fine.

So If anyone have any idea, it should be greatly appreciated.

By the way, there's still no tar.gz of openvswitch 1.0.3 on ovs
website. We'd like to test this version, can we upgrade safely from
1.0.1 (no change in the database format?). Any particular procedure?
