There is definitely an extra hop and extra cost. The difference is usually minimal. > b ) Would this performance impact be more if i run ovs as a plain L2 > learning switch i.e no openflow rules configured. No. (Why would running OVS in the simplest way increase the performance cost?) _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list disc...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
