[ovs-discuss] mac learning example on non-vlan ports

2014-03-06 Thread murali reddy
Can some one point to me example flow rules that can be added to learn the mac adresses where traffic non-vlan. I went through the Open Vswitch tutorial which has the details of implementing mac learning with VLAN's, but not sure how to do it for non-vlan capable switch. TIA, Murali __

[ovs-discuss] patch port performance

2014-03-04 Thread murali reddy
Are there any known performance issues (latency or throughput) with using patch ports? I would like to interconnect multiple bridges (corresponding to different subnets) with patch port to a bridge configured with the flows to acts as router. I am wondering if there would be any performance if i us
