Okay. I understand that switching doesnt take much time. But what about flowtable update in kernel datapath from userspace.
I was not elaborate in my question, I have following scenario. I want to run 2 ovs-switch instances on single machine. But, they should not affect each other's performance. So, I thought if I can assign # of physical cores to them.. I am using Open Vswitch with kernel module.
