[ovs-discuss] Flow eviction based on LRU

[Avi Cohen (A)]

Thanks Joe,
1.  so the only flows-eviction process  (from datapath cache)  is implemented in udpif_revalidator thread ?  deleting flows that exceed  10s idle time ? 
2.  Where is the implementation of http://openvswitch.org/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5.pdf  ?
This intends to be  a LRU approximation 

Regards avi
