I have been working in Lithium and Boron Stable Version .
Lets take Boron , In openflowplugin.cfg default timer for barrier message is 500ms is there any
rational behind the same ? why not 100ms ?
If I push via SAL-FLOW RPC , total time taken for flow push = Time taken for flow push + barrier delay = ~ 30 ms + 520 ms (barrier ).
If I change the value from 500ms to 100 ms I am getting drastic performance improvement in flow push processing . Can anyone tell why we have gone for 500ms as default timer value ?
How we have arrived this golden value of 500ms ?
Reference.
File : openflowplugin.cfg
"#Timeout interval in milliseconds between each barrier message.
