>>I cannot see a technical reason why linux bridge is slower than ovs? Can't say exactly, maybe openvswitch can scale more with multi-core ?
here an benchmark : http://www.opencloudblog.com/?p=96 , with openvswitch going up to 256gb/s >>Can you reproduce this with new 3.10 bridge code?

And also linux bridge have some advantages, like iptables support My point is that it could be fine to give user choice (at least for advanced users, not everyone need advanced features of openvswitch) ----- Mail original ----- De: "Dietmar Maurer" <[email protected]> À: "Alexandre DERUMIER" <[email protected]>, "Stefan Priebe" <[email protected]> Cc: "pve-devel" <[email protected]> Envoyé: Mardi 17 Décembre 2013 08:22:12 Objet: RE: [pve-devel] kernel 3.10 : bridge vlan test > about openvswitch > ----------------- > I have done some tests with openvswitch, and it's work really fine. > iperf show me 20Gb/s, I never reach more than 8gb/s with linux bridge. > vlan work out of the box. I cannot see a technical reason why linux bridge is slower than ovs? Can you reproduce this with new 3.10 bridge code? VLAN should also work out of the box with linux bridge (it's just a bug somewhere). _______________________________________________ pve-devel mailing list [email protected] http://pve.proxmox.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pve-devel
