hi,
One more query, Is this flow extraction typically done by a software module
even in hardware switches or it is perhaps performed by a specialized and
optimized hardware in hardware switches?
regards,
kalapriya.

Subject: Re: [ovs-discuss] Is flow extraction on the critical path
Open vSwitch doesn't support OpenFlow 1.1, but, regardless, flow extraction is
on the critical path. I can't think how to avoid that, since it must classify
the packets to determine which actions to apply. It does some smart caching to
make the lookup fast in software, but it still needs to extract the flow to do
that lookup.
