Hey Andrey, Thanks for reporting the issue, Please see my reply below,

One thing comes to my mind is that, for v2.1.3, the same dp flow could actually be dumped more than once. since the flow dumping happens in batch, so for example assume the current batch dumped flow A, then the flow adds before the next dump move back the position of flow A in the link list, then the next dump will dump flow A again. So, the revalidator will process flow A twice. And if the first process decides to delete flow A. The next process will do the same thing but result in this 'failed to flow_del' error~ 3. don't know if it is possible for your to provide the result of following commands: ovs-dpctl dump-flows | sed -n 's/^.*\(used:[0-9.]\+\).*$/\1/p' > > Preconditions are following: > - 30k installed non-overlapping ip mask flows, ttl=4h, > - 3k dp flows, > - moderate traffic, on about 200mbit and hitting 2000prefixes/s.

If so, i could more time to add/del flows in classifier, Do you have more interfaces as compared to the other setup you mentioned? With more interfaces, it would take more time to update stats/status. Thanks, Alex Wang,
