Hi list,

I'm working under CentOS 6.4 + Openstack Havana + Openvswitch 
1.11.0_8ce28d-1.el6ost.

I have a 10 Gb/s network link between the network node and the compute node.

Here is my Test case:

1.       Start iperf server on the network node:
          ip netns exec qdhcp-1314f7bb-9b52-4db8-a677-a751e52aad0e iperf  -s


2.       Boot an instance (name instance1) with flavor m1.tiny on compute node 1



3.       Start a iperf client in instance1:

iperf -c $dhcp_device_ip



4.       Get a bandwidth between the network node and the instances

It is about 8.77 Gb/s for GRE and 7.45 Gb/s for VXLAN.

Then I start more instances on the same compute node (compute node 1), and 
start more iperf client and server pairs between the network node and these 
instances.


ð  Then I re-do the pervious test case : only one iperf client connect to iperf 
server

ð  Here is the test result, the bandwidth is in a drop trend while the active 
instances number keep increases:


                                                                                
               Bandwidth (Gb/s)
                                       Active instance number               GRE 
                   VXLAN
