Jun presents a new high-performance datapath for OVN. OVN has many

advantages than other virtual networking solutions given its great

architecture thus performant/extensible/scale, and it becomes the best

virtual networking solution if you want to use OVS with openstack. In

this presentation, Jun will show how to deploy openstack/OVN with yet

another high performance OVS datapath, and deep dive on technical

solutions addressing OVS datapaths outstanding issues. Jun will also

give a live demo for the integration and present some performance

benchmarks.

Slides for this talk are available in PowerPoint
