I don't know of an in-depth discussion. I'll point out, though, that the architecture of the controller makes a great difference. If the controller is reactive, that is, if it sets up flows in reaction to traffic (received via packet-ins), then it will be affected much more by the RTT to the switch than if it is proactive. > Also, I am new to this mailing list.

You can use Google or another search engine to search, if you specify "site:openvswitch.org". Works quite well. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
