Hi Ben and All,

I have couple of quires regarding OpenVswitch:

1) could you please confirm in OpenVswitch data flow to be @ kernel level or 
user level.
2)  As some document says that When the first packet of a flow comes to the 
datapath, the datapath transmit it to the userspace using netlink. Does the 
datapath buffer the packet? Or it is just buffered in userspace? 

3) Will this (first)packet traversing from kernel to user space and user space 
to kernel space affect the performance. 

4) It seems that datapath flow entry is 5 seconds time-out, then how soon is 
the facet time_out? Where can I find the code of time_out? Or can we change 
time out value.



Thanks in advance. 
Vivek
