Hi.
During my research I did some performance tests. In some of your paper
on ovs I read that "Open vSwitch is almost as fast as the native
bridge". Well in my environment ovs beats the Linux Bridge [1].
Do you have any explanation why Open vSwitch, with all it features, is
faster than the "simple" Bridge?
My setup is:
- Host:
o kernel 2.6.36.1
o ovs 1.1.0pre2
o one bridge
- 2 guests:
o kernel 2.6.36.2
o QEMU 0.12.4
o TAP interface (attached to bridge)
- measurement
o iperf
o 15 runs
o 5 minutes each
Thanks,
Daniel
P.S.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining ;-)
