In our experience, most people actually expect this number to be fairly high. For example, our traffic generator runs a little bit of traffic to populate caches, pauses for a couple of seconds, before finally starting the main test. On top of that, we've had some minor complaints from people mana

[ovs-dev] [PATCH] ofproto: Increase default datapath max_idle time.

2014-09-11 Thread Joe Stringer
The datapath max_idle value determines how long to wait before deleting an idle datapath flow when operating below the flow_limit. This patch increases the max_idle to 10 seconds, which allows datapath flows to be remain cached even if they are used less consistently, and provides a small improveme
