Hi Ben,

I am also facing the same issue with openvswitch 1.10. When I send 10000
different flows, it only shows 1250 flows in the dpctl command.

If it is the implementation detail, then how can we confirm that OVS
implementation supports 1 million flows in the datapath ?

Is there any way to test the support of 1 million flows with OVS?


Thanks Ben.
