By default number of MAC addresses which ovs stores in memory is quite low - 2048. Any eviction of a MAC learning table entry triggers revalidation. Such revalidation is very costly so it cause high CPU usage by ovs-vswitchd process. To workaround this problem, higher value of mac-table-size option can be set for bridge. Then this revalidation will happen less often and CPU usage will be lower. This patch adds config option for neutron-openvswitch-agent to allow users tune this setting in bridges managed by agent. By default this value is set to 50000 which should be enough for most systems. Change-Id: If628f52d75c2b5fec87ad61e0219b3286423468c Closes-Bug: #1775797

|
|
A new config option ``bridge_mac_table_size`` has been added for
|
|
Neutron OVS agent.
|
|
This value will be set on every Open vSwitch bridge managed by the
|
|
openvswitch-neutron-agent in ``other_config:mac-table-size`` column
|
|
in ovsdb.
|
|
Default value for this new option is set to 50000 and it should be enough
|
|
for most systems.
|
|
More details about this option can be found in `Open vSwitch documentation
