Re: [ovs-discuss] pps throughput depending on the number of flows

2014-09-02 Thread Alexander Shalimov
Hi, We recently finished with throughput measurements of OVS. We saw that phy-to-phy throughput became higher with the increasing number of flows: #1. 1 flow, phy-to-phy, 64 bytes packets => 1Mpps #2. 32 flows (1 src ip, 32 dst ips), phy-to-phy, 64 bytes packets => 9Mpps Could anyone explain w
