Hi, Speaking about control plane, such slow down can be related to neutron-ovs-agent or ovsdbapp which is used by it. I don’t know exactly what version of OpenStack and ovsdbapp You are using but I remember that there was big issue with performance of port list in ovsdbapp some time ago. This

Hi all, If you are using ovsdbapp (python) then the problem might be there or in the OVS python IDL as you mention it’s control plane. We did quite a few optimizations in both areas that should speed port handling up. However there is things that needs more perfomance as for example we are

Hi Ben and Flavio, Thanks for responding. I should clarify that the performance problem is with the control plane, not the data plane. What we’re encountering is more like the problem described here https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-discuss/2014-September/034907.html

Hi I'm reading (http://www.openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovs-vswitchd.8.txt section LIMITS) and it says "Performance will degrade beyond 1,024 ports per bridge due to fixed hash table sizing.” Do we have a little more info on what that means and what to expect for less experienced users
