It's documented in the ovs-vswitchd.conf.db man page:
http://openvswitch.org/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5.pdf
Here's the relevant part:
Think I found it :)
I first used ovs in userspace and then changed my script to use the kernel
module, however "ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev" was still
called. I didn't notice the difference in the INSTALL files. Now I get
850Mbps and more at low CPU usage. Sorry for bothering you

I think you're just looking at what other kernel module depends on openvswitch,
Hi,
Looking at the RTT from the ping command it seems like it's not going
through the controller (First packet latency 15ms, after that 0.2ms, so it
seems flows are installed)
I tried with a POX example application (l2_learning), but same issue. This
is the flowdump (fresh reboot, ping test betwe
Are you sure the traffic isn't being sent to the controller? Depending on your
controller, that could slows things down significantly.
I don't think you mentioned what version of OVS you're using. What do you see
from "ovs-dpctl show", "ovs-dpctl dump-flows ", and "ovs-ofctl dump-flows
"? Ob
Hi,
Thank you for the quick answer!
I'm actually using it without VM's.
It's an experiment with three "real" computers. One machine with ovs acting
as switch, the other machines are connected to the ovs-machine, each on a
separate nic. (controller runs at a fourth machine, but that's probably not

That is quite low. I have seen 9 Gbps on non-tunnel mode (on 10G
NICs). You are sending traffic
through VM or through the host? If the former,
Hi,
I'm running ovs on Ubuntu 11.04 and noticed that it can process max.
200Mbps (NIC's are gigabit).
It's used as an openflow switch with POX as controller and about 10 flows
are installed. ovs is running with kernel module. The CPU is a quadcore
Intel Xeon running at 2.2Ghz and one of the cores
