I think that we should agree on applying the basic conditional monitor usage to OVN first before we start to add any optimization to it. Then if we will see that we need to cut the latency of datapaths and ports in the ovn-controller, we can easily add this functionality to the code. BTW, in this patch I do not see any calls for add_clause_false so this code will retrieve the whole SB DB in the first iteration. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
