Hi,

With the following are the platform specifications:

    OVS version: 1.4.0
    traffic type: MTU size UDP packets @7000packets per second, generating
50,000 flows by changing UDP src Ports.
    OS: Fedora release 12, Linux 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE
    CPU: Intel Core i3 @ 2100 GHz
    Controller: NOX, simple IP based switching application.


If I generate 50,000 flows in two chunks, for example, first I generate
traffic with src Port from 1 to 20,000 for few seconds then change the src
Port range to 20,001 to 50,000, I get the following warnings:

Jun 11 16:41:06|00019|dpif|WARN|system@br0: recv failed (No buffer space
available)
Jun 11 16:41:19|00020|dpif|WARN|system@br0: recv failed (No buffer space
available)
Jun 11 16:41:22|00021|dpif|WARN|system@br0: recv failed (No buffer space
available)
Jun 11 16:41:24|00022|dpif|WARN|system@br0: recv failed (No buffer space
available)

Following is the output of "ovs-dpctl show br0"

system@br0:
 lookups: hit:491818 missed:603323 lost:116749
flows: 28559

Moreover, if I generate 50,000 flows in one go, without any pause, then I
do not get any error.

How to diagnose the problem? Has anyone else experienced such problem with
reactive flow writing?
