Looking up the splinter ports, on input and output, in an extra hash table has some cost. There is also some extra in-kernel time and space cost due to the extra devices. I have not measured whether these costs are significant; I cannot guess. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
