Hi.
During my research I did some performance tests. In some of your paper
on ovs I read that "Open vSwitch is almost as fast as the native
bridge". Well in my environment ovs beats the Linux Bridge [1].
Do you have any explanation why Open vSwitch, with all it features, is
faster than the "simpl
Hello.
My task is to measure the forwarding performance of Open vSwitch with
different setups. Are there any kind of statistics where I can retrieve
information like number of forwarded and dropped packets?
Thanks for you help.

Hi.
Currently I am conducting research for my master thesis on fast
monitoring of inter-vm communication. Among some other solutions I
looked into, Open vSwitch in combination with KVM was my choice.
My setup consists of two virtual machines, each using a tap interface
with virtio. Both interface
