Hi, every contributor These patches could significantly improve multi-flow throughput of userspace datapath. If you feel it will take too much time to review all patches, I suggest you could look at the 2nd/3rd first, which have the major improvement in these patches. [ovs-dev][PATCH v1 2/6] dpif-netdev: add tunnel_valid flag to skip ip/ipv6 address comparison [ovs-dev][PATCH v1 3/6] dpif-netdev: improve emc lookup performance by contiguous storage of hash value.
Any comments from anyone are appreciated.
