Description Timothy Redaelli 2018-10-26 13:00:28 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1643478 +++

Build OVS binaries statically (ovs-vswitchd, etc), but ship the shared libraries (needed for bz#1417738).

This is needed since ovs-vswitchd linked as shared library is noticeably slower (when you use DPDK)

Comment 5 Christian Trautman 2018-11-01 01:49:27 UTC

Ran PVP Testing and saw minimal improvement in speed from previous build.
