Do you mean it causes confunsion in terms of performance of kernel space vs user space? If that’s the case we could change it to +Note Open vSwitch with Linux devices in userspace is considered +experimental and comes with a cost in performance when compared to kernel space. Would that suffice? Ian _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
