Hi, Just a reminder, Mark has acked this change a while ago but it didn't get pushed yet.

The ofconn packet-in queue for packets that can't be immediately sent on the rconn connection was limited to 100 packets (hardcoded value). While increasing this limit is usually not recommended as it might create buffer bloat and increase latency, in scaled scenarios it is useful if the administrator (or CMS) can adjust the queue size. One such situation was noticed while performing scale testing of the OVN IGMP functionality: triggering ~200 simultaneous IGMP reports was causing tail drops on the packet-in queue towards ovn-controller. This commit adds the possibility to configure the queue size for: - management controller (br-int.mgmt): through the other_config:controller-queue-size column of the Bridge table. This value is limited to 512 as large queues definitely affect latency. If not present the default value of 100 is used. This is done in order to maintain the same default behavior as before the commit. - other controllers: through the controller_queue_size column of the Controller table. This value is also limited to 512. If not present the code uses the Bridge:other_config:controller-queue-size configuration.
