Thanks a lot for the info. I have looked at the paper you mentioned. I want to plot "Transfer Rate (mbps)" on the x-axis and on the Y-axis I want to measure the "CPU utilization". I am using UDP flows and measuring the CPU consumption of the process ovs-vswitchd. Is this the kernel module you mentioned in your email?
