Introduction

Overview

The OVS flow table normalization feature accelerates OVS flow table processing based on the XPF network acceleration framework. Based on the open source OVS+DPDK solution, it normalizes flow tables and reduces the number of table lookups for data processing in some open source scenarios to accelerate data packet forwarding in cloud computing. The typical application scenario is VXLAN+CT networking.

The Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) is an open-source, high-performance, and user-mode software project developed by Intel. Open vSwitch (OVS) is an open source implementation of a distributed virtual multilayer switch and is widely used in cloud computing. The DPDK+OVS solution provides flexible network management and high-performance forwarding capabilities.
