Dear Colleagues,

The flow table in openflow is similar to routing table, or access control list. I just wondered that the impact factor of flow table size, i.e., which factor affects the size of the flow table? Is there anyone having the experience on this issue?

In my opinion, the match granularity, control granularity of the switch will affect the flow table size. Any other factors?

Thank you very much.

Best Regards.
