Dear All, I try to keep up with the things going on on this mailing list, and I hope I don't ask/share any outdated information. This is also my first time of posting something to here.
So, we (as might many others) were curious about the data plane throughput of the Open vSwitch. We found a website offering an open-source benchmarking tool with a lot of useful other stuffs (e.g., traces, pipelines), called NFPA ( http://nfpa.tmit.bme.hu). We have downloaded the tool and evaluated OVS (v2.5.1) over our testbed (Intel Xeon, XL710...), but currently only the kernel data path is done. As the website offers sharing mechanism, we put our results there. we evaluated the predefined use cases: bridge, l2-switch, l3-router, load_balancer_1,10,100 (http://nfpa.tmit.bme.hu/index.php?page=usecases) here is a snippet if anyone interested (shortened url to NFPA): http:// goo.gl/p7S0Ga Because of 40G interface, the plots are not really talky, even if you zoom into them, so use the table views instead, it might provide you the exact numbers. The shared link is only for traffic trace where 100 different flows were in the traces, but you can simply browse other cases on the website. It seems that if you choose version 2.5.1 on the browsing subpage, you will only find our freshly uploaded measurements :) Best regards, Barrred Kola
