Hi,
I'm trying to get an understanding of the flow of packets when openvswitch
is used in an offloaded lookup setting - NIC/Switch.
They're mutually exclusive - OVS doesn't see the packets when SR-IOV
is in use so there's not much that it can do. Programming the NIC
itself is not really practical because the embedded switch is not fine
grained enough to implement OVS policies.
Except the Cavium and Tilera cards that actually run OVS on the NIC. Has
anyone tried them?
