Hi, I'm not sure if there is any such document. >From what I know, mellanox Nics which support HW offloading of OVS flows, don't support HWOLing if the datapath flow has matches for certain ct state fields. I think there are some efforts under way to add the support - https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/list/?submitter=81057 >From the OVN side too we have few patches up and few patches merged to avoid using certain ct fields which are not HWOLadable. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ovn/patch/20210224132638.1667113-1-num...@ovn.org/ Thanks Numan > Krzysztof Klimonda > kklimo...@syntaxhighlighted.com > _______________________________________________ > discuss mailing list > disc...@openvswitch.org > https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss > _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
