Missing line rate performance after flows are successfully installed
If an instance is running OpenFlow v1.0 and the
flow cannot be accommodated in the hardware or a higher priority overlapping
rule is present in software, or we have reached the policy engine
usage limit configured, the flow will be housed in the software table.
Use the show openflow instance <instance-name> flows
command to verify that the flow is housed in the
software table.
If the flow is programmed in software, line rate performance is not seen in packet forwarding.
To know which flows are accommodated in hardware, see the Flow classification section of this document.
For an OpenFlow1.3 instance, there could be several software tables, 200 to 203.
