Hi All,

We are not able to understand the usage of ovs-benchmark. We have referred
man page also. But still we have following doubts

1) We didn't understand what is the purpose of ovs-benchmark?
2) We didn't understand meaning of "*flow setup*" ?
3) As man page as described ovs-benchmark opens tcp connections. Generally
openvswitch opens a single tcp connection with open flow controller so what
is the meaning of opening multiple tcp connections
4) Also man page has described "* A TCP connection consists of two flows*"
and we checked it can have maximum of 1021 tcp connections in one batch. so
Does this mean we can have 2042 dump flows at max?

Please clarify and help us in understanding the above points.

Regards
Deepak
