If you upgrade to version 2.3, the kernel flow table can generally expand to about 200,000 flows, which is sufficient for every real case we've run into. > - Is there a way to limit the number of flows that can be created by a > virtual host.

If you use a simple enough flow table (for example, one that only matches on IP addresses) to match the packets coming out of a given virtual port, though, that will naturally reduce the number of flows that can be generated (because a small number of wildcarded datapath flows cover all of the packets received from the port). _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
