Thanks a lot for the info. I have looked at the paper you mentioned. I want to plot "Transfer Rate (mbps)" on the x-axis and on the Y-axis I want to measure the "CPU utilization". I am using UDP flows and measuring the CPU consumption of the process ovs-vswitchd. Is this the kernel module you ment

One of the first papers about ovs have something similar to what you want to do: http://openvswitch.org/papers/dccaves2010.pdf They got ~7G at that time, depending on the transfer (pkt) size. I believe you should also try UDP and non ip traffic, to isolate the tcp/ip stack code. OVS also has a ker

Hello, I am trying to measure the switching capacity of OVS. I am trying to plot cpu utilization against amount of traffic (mbps) switched by OVS. I have deployed OVS on a workstation and connected to two other other workstations running iperf server and client. Now which process on the OVS works
