Hello,
I am trying to see the number of dropped packets for each port in OVS.
I've executed the following command but I don't exactly know what some of the output means.
root at mininet-vm:~# sudo ovs-dpctl -s show
system at s1:
lookups: hit:3234544 missed:55 lost:141463
flows: 0
port 0: s1 (internal)
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 aborted:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
RX bytes:0 TX bytes:756
port 1: s1-eth1
RX packets:2485978 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:748737 errors:0 dropped:0 aborted:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
RX bytes:2223352793 (2.1 GiB) TX bytes:1127490734 (1.1 GiB)
port 2: s1-eth2
RX packets:748621 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2122835 errors:0 dropped:0 aborted:0 carrier:0
collisions:0
RX bytes:1127641888 (1.1 GiB) TX bytes:1844748850 (1.7 GiB)
What does the lookups entry mean? More specifically the lost counter?
Is the lost counter in the lookups entry related to the number of dropped packets that I see at the end-points of a traffic low?
If yes, then why there are no dropped packets on any of the ports?
Thank you,
cosmin
