Re: [ovs-discuss] Is flow extraction on the critical path

2012-01-19 Thread K.Kalapriya
hi, One more query, Is this flow extraction typically done by a software module even in hardware switches or it is perhaps performed by a specialized and optimized hardware in hardware switches? regards, kalapriya. From: Justin Pettit To: K.Kalapriya Cc

[ovs-discuss] Performance of openvswitch versus linux bridging with XEN

We are having performance issues with XEN as opposed to VMWARE. Pls take a look at the following cases (OVS - open vswitch, Bridge - native linux bridging) Case 1 (no VM guest tagging):VM1 VNIC1 (no tag) --- OVS ---(vlan X) --- PNIC1--(vlan X)- PNIC2 (vlan

Hi there, i am facing the following strange behavior (Open vSwitch 1.4.90 and 1.2.2). * Adding a GRE interface with GRE key value=1 to my OVS creates packets with GRE key value equal to 0x30760001 * root@ovs1:~# ovs-vsctl -- add-port br0 gre100_2 tag=2830 -- set interface gre100_2 type=gre opti

Hi, Attached is a logfile. It seems that the problem is related to LLDP messages that come from "bad in-port" i.e. a port that is not connected to ovs. My setup is the following: NOX linux1 | | ---192.168.4.0/24 | linux3OVSlinux2

Re: [ovs-discuss] Is flow extraction on the critical path

Open vSwitch doesn't support OpenFlow 1.1, but, regardless, flow extraction is on the critical path. I can't think how to avoid that, since it must classify the packets to determine which actions to apply. It does some smart caching to make the lookup fast in software, but it still needs to ex
