> Hello all,
>  
> I am currently developing a stateful firewall application for SDN using ODL 
> as the controller.
> The application uses the TCP flags OpenFlow extension to match the successive 
> states when establishing a connection.
> This means that a large amount of packets–in is sent to the controller and 
> that in turn the controller adds and deletes many flows from the switches.
> I use the MD-SAL API to add and remove flows from the switches without going 
> through the datastore.
> The version of ODL used is Boron-SR3.
>  
> At the moment, I am writing a POC firewall with only one switch and I run 
> into the following problem.
> I run a stress test that involves creating TCP connection from a client 
> machine to a server machine (running Apache).
> The 2 machines are connected by an OVS switch connected to ODL.
>  
> When the stress test is run with a low number of connections/second (~50) 
> everything works fine.
> When using ~200 TCP connections/second, the firewall seems to work fine for a 
> few seconds.
> Then the duration of the TCP connections start to increase and the controller 
> ends up disconnection from the OVS.

> The OVS logs also shows that it’s the controller that breaks the connection.
>  
> The JVM has 8GB of memory allocated and uses at most 3 so it’s not a memory

> The machine running ODL has 8 logical cores, of which only one is used.
> CPU and memory usage is also pretty low on the machine running OVS.
