Good post. And I have performance numbers with OVS-dpdk that make kernel bypass compelling since its off-the-charts while comparing with kernel datapath. For those interested, my ovs-dpdk experiments which also include patches, README etc. for others to carry it themselves can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nfe70cgksmy543k/AABD_0qsQ15e2GItXDNCpxBaa?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nfe70cgksmy543k/AABD_0qsQ15e2GItX... The perf results directory has the ovs-dpdk perf for all the use-cases in the dataplane performance pdf that you might be interested in. Has use-cases covering up to 11VM or 11 containers with 11 IP flows to measure dataplane performance. Also you really need a server with 1 gig hugetlb support (and also enable that for guest) to extract maximum performance. Expected I guess ...
