The Open vSwitch kernel datapath may have flows offloaded to hardware using the TC Flower classifier and related actions. This is a powerful mechanism to both increase throughput and reduce CPU utilisation. This presentation will give an overview of the evolution of this offload mechanism: features available in OvS v2.8, those targeted at v2.9 and possible future directions.
