I guess we are talking about OpenFlow connections to OVS switches here. If so 
what is is the high load scenario the controller is in this test? For single 
controller (4 CPUs) we support up to 400 switches loaded with 10K flows in 
Carbon:

Soon I will bring a test to see if this number holds in a cluster.
