Known Issues - Read First

This section lists the known issues in the eSwitch switchdev mode.

• Flow counters or per-flow statistics are currently not supported by the Intel® Ethernet 800 Series (800 Series) for hardware offloaded flows. Therefore, the Open Virtual Switch (OVS) software does not detect hardware offloaded flows as active and deletes them after a preset max-idle value (default is 10 seconds, though it can be extended to 10 hours). After the OVS max-idle time for each flow, packets are re-passed through the slow path before again being offloaded to hardware until the next timeout value is reached.
