Ananth, "megaflows" support was added in v1.11.0 so 1.9.3 doesn't have it. Regards, --- Motonori Shindo On 2013/10/01, at 16:37, ananthan wrote: > Thanks Justin, > For Xenserver i am planning to upgrade from 1.4 to > 1.9.Does 1.9.3 have wild carding feature. > Regards,

Hi Ananth, I'm wondering if your upgrade would also fix my issues on Citrix XenServer 6.1 (http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-September/011324.html). It was already pointed that there have been lots of performance improvements since version 1.4 and that I won't likely see my proble

Correct. Multi-threading is going to be part of the 2.0 release. The improvement you're seeing is from our adding support for wildcarding in the kernel. We've been calling it megaflows. (As opposed to the previous exact-match microflows that were installed.) In the new model, ovs-vswitchd

Hi, Tested ovs 1.11 on ubuntu 12.04 and recreated above workload,this time i am so shocked to see that Load Average didnt go more than 0.1% which is nearly 80 times improvement when compared to previous situation :) .It solves all the issue that we were facing with old release,thanks for fixi

Your question is essentially identical (including the version numbers) to Kevin Parker's from a few hours earlier, so I'll give the same answer: We've made a lot of improvements in flow set up rate since version 1.4, so upgrading to a more current version (we're on 1.10 now) will likely help.
