Hi all,
I created 2 instances on the same compute node and tested the bandwidth between
them, surprisingly iperf tells me I got 16.1Gbits/sec only. Then I changed the
firewall from hybrid iptables to ovs, the bandwidth improved a little bit to
17.5Gbits/sec but still far from expected.

As far as I know the communication is VM <--OVS-->VM and the linux bridge is
not involved.
What could be throttling the network traffic and what can I do to improve
performance?
Thank you very much
