Hi,

We ran into some issues using the DPDK based OVS switch (2.3.90). We used pktgen for traffic generation.

*1. Multiple flows -> degrading performance*

Everything looks nice, but when we generate multiple flows with different MAC addresses the switch performance drops. On an Intel Atom system the packet rate was dropping from 4 Mpps to 2 Mpps when increasing the number of flows to 10.

*2. Set Queue -> severe performance degradation*

After setting a queue, irrespectively of the bandwidth limit set the performance drops to ~1.5 Mpps on a Xeon machine (from ~10 Mpps - we use only 1 core for the given port)

Any ideas?

If you need more data, let me know.
Thanks!

Gergely
