Not currently using. Planned use is to compare OVS with smart NICs, and to verify that the OVS settings from OpenStack are not too far from optimal. > > 2.

Using a VIM to configure the virtual switch leaves the possibility that the configuration is non-optimal. Finally, it is difficult to run a representative set of tests without VSPERF, since the performance of a virtual switch can depend heavily on eg the number of flows, number of source MACs/IPs, port numbers etc. > > 3.
