Thanks,
I want to find out about the traffic of the network without so much CPU overhead. I am currently trying to use sFlow and measure its CPU overhead on a hypervisor.

Thanks

Also, if you use OpenFlow then instead of using ovs-ofctl you can query OVS for the flow stats via OFPT_STATS_REQUEST.

    No, you can't get the stats remotely from ovs-dpctl.  You can use
    ovs-ofctl, but it will only give you stats for the flows that
    you've defined.  ovs-ofctl can work remotely, as described in the
    man page.

    If you just want visibility into the traffic flowing through your
    switch, you may want to look at the built in NetFlow or sFlow support.

    switch. "ovs-dpctl dump-flows br0" gives these results for recent
