Hi, There are few patches submitted for mega flows in last couple of weeks. I have a vague idea on what mega flows could be. Is it possible to share some more detail on how exactly we would be doing the mega flow match in the kernel. Couple of months ago I did an experiment with ovs, which tried to reduce the granularity of flows in kernel in order to reduce the number of packets queued to userspace (flows miss). In order to make this work I sent only layer 2 flow information (src-mac, dst-mac, next-proto) from kernel space to userspace. Thus only layer-2 based flows were created in kernel space. This worked well for situation where there were large number of short lived flows. Is mega flow similar to this ?
Thanks, Anoob.
