[ovs-discuss] Openvswitch performance limitation

[Tmusic]

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 is fully used by
vswitchd. So the CPU is limiting in this case. I'm pretty sure there are
are no loops in the network.

Is this normal level of performance that can be expected from ovs or could
something wrong with the configuration?

Kind regards and thank you in advance,

Tim
