Re: [ovs-discuss] [ovs-dev] DPDK: How to send packets from one OVS bridge to another OVS bridge while running in the same user space ?

2018-02-13 Thread Kapil A
Hi Jan, Thanks for the clarification. I also came across patch port as the best option between ovs Bridges. But, is it possible to use patch ports to an external OpenFlow bridge? Like one bridge is OVS, other is Lagopus bridge or LINC bridge? For my use case, I want to send packets from OVS

Hi Jacob, I can try to help as much as I can. Can you run me through the steps that you already tried (from get-netadapter, through the vmswitch creation and how you tried to add the ports to OVS)? Thanks, Alin. De la: ovs-discuss-boun...@openvswitch.org

Hi Kapil, This is what patch ports are for. They are only traversed for the first packet of a flow in the slow path. The resulting datapath flow entry collapses the processing in both bridges into a single megaflow. So there is no performance overhead compared to having a single bridge.

Hello, In my setup, i have two DPDK ports, where dpdk0 is part of br0 and and dpdk1 is part of br1. How can i send packets from br0 to br1 in an efficient way within userspace with good performance? I came across, veth pair as one option, but i couldn't find if it will provide good performance in

2018-02-13 Thread Avi Cohen (A)
Hello Are there 'numbers' for performance - OvS-DPDK vs XDP-eBPF for container networking. Since the DPDK and linux-containers are not compatible, is a sense that container and host share the same kernel - hence pkts received at OvS-DPDK at user-space and directed to a linux container -

2018-02-13 Thread Daniel Alvarez Sanchez
Hi folks, As we're doing some performance tests in OpenStack using OVN, we noticed that as we keep creating ports, the time for creating a single port increases. Also, ovn-northd CPU consumption is quite high (see [0] which shows the CPU consumption when creating 1000 ports and deleting them.
