Re: [ovs-discuss] max mega flow 64k per pmd or per dpcls?

I am interested about how to define 'reasonable' here, how it is got and what what is the 'many case'? is there any document/link to refer this information, please shed me some light. On Thu, Jun 29, 2017 at 10:47 PM, Darrell Ball wrote: > Q: “how it is calculated in such an

Re: [ovs-discuss] max mega flow 64k per pmd or per dpcls?

Thanks Bodireddy. Sorry I am a bit confused about the EMC occupied size per PMD, here[1] has a different story. Do you mean in real scenarios OVS-DPDK can be memory bound on EMC? I thought EMC should be totally fit in LLC. If the megaflows just part in LLC, then the cost of copy between memory

Re: [ovs-discuss] max mega flow 64k per pmd or per dpcls?

Q: “how it is calculated in such an exact number? “ A: It is a reasonable number to accommodate many cases. Q: “If there are more ports added for polling, for avoid competing can I increase the 64k size into a bigger one?” A: If a larger number is needed, it may imply that adding another PMD

Re: [ovs-discuss] max mega flow 64k per pmd or per dpcls?

I guess the answer is now the general LLC is 2.5M per core so that there is 64k flows per thread. On Fri, Jun 23, 2017 at 11:15 AM, Hui Xiang wrote: > Thanks Darrell, > > More questions: > Why not allocating 64k for each dpcls? does the 64k just fit in L3 cache > or
