Flow Scalability per Broadcom Chipset
The maximum entries of OpenFlow Flows is often a critical piece of any SDN solution. This is a summary of Openflow Flow scalability per family of Chipset.Â
Chipset | ICAP (maximum entries in default or match modes) | ECAP (entries) | VCAP (entries) | L2 (maximum entries when buffer-mode is 5) | L3 (maximum entries when buffer-mode 5) | |||||||
