Hi, Is there any performance difference with using the OVS kernel Datapath available part of Linux upstream Vs the module built from Linux OVS tree.
So far i have been using the DP part of the Linux upstream and as NAT feature requires Linux version 4.6, i plan to switch to DP module built from OVS tree. 1. In general is there any performance between using these two ? or would it vary based on the features being in use. 2. I am currently using VXLAN and L2 forwarding + NAT(plan to use it), would like to know if there could be any performance difference expected when i switch from upstream DP to KLM. I didn't any specific mention about performance in FAQ - http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/releases/ expect for this statement 'Certain features require kernel support to function or to have reasonable performance.'
