Hi.

We are running ovs on a single core machine with about 2500 flow entries to manage \
individual clients. It seems the flow lockups required to forward the packets \
generating a high load on the box. Anybody has experience with a high number of flows \
in ovs. Anybody knows how the flow match and classifier works. Is this a linear \
lookup or any other sophisticated algorithm is used?

Thanks for feedback.
