Anybody here aware of performance comparison tests made lately between openvswitch and linux bridge?

- linux bridge ovs performance
It has been a long time since I have benched them, but until you use dpdk with ovs (not implemented in proxmox), performance should be the same.
and I always have seen more cpu usage with ovs.
I'll try to do test this month, bandwith and pps to compare.
(I still prefer linux bridge, I have see too much bug report with ovs daemon)

My impression is also that linux bridge is the stable and simple choice but with fewer features than ovs. Whether linux bridge or ovs is simpler to configure is a matter of taste ;-)
Looking forward to see the result of your test. A comparison of cpu usage order load could be interesting too?

do you have specific missing feature in mind ?

yes, no problem.

(Because I'm currently working on vxlan implementation on proxmox, and sdn with vxlan bgp-evpn, with linux bridge )
HI Spirit. Out of interest, were you able to perform some benchmarks eventually? Thanks.
I'd be interested in this, if you're willing to share(Because I'm currently working on vxlan implementation on proxmox, and sdn with vxlan bgp-evpn, with linux bridge )
