HI Ben, Thanks for your reply.
My doubt is that I did not see this issue for OVS running on x86 platform. In this case ovs-vswitchd takes hardly 100 MB memory for 2000 ports. But in MIPS64 based platform, ovs-vswitchd takes approximately 700 MB for 1000 ports only. Is this behavior expected ? Is there any fix for this issue ?

Probably it just requires more memory than you have. > -- Thanks & Regards Neelakantam Gaddam
