Hi,

Huyn, i would suggest you to read this article "OpenFlow Switching: Data
Plane Performance". Is easy to find if you google it.
They use a PC-based OpenFlow Switching in order to test the performance of
the Data Plane. Maybe it is what you are looking for.
The use of OVS is not clear in the article, but the results may provide you
an idea about the performance.
