+\fBovs\-vswitchd\fR started through \fBovs\-ctl\fR(8) provides a limit of 7500
+file descriptors. The limits on the number of bridges and ports is decided by
+the availability of file descriptors. With the Linux kernel datapath, creation
+of a single bridge consumes 3 file descriptors and adding a port consumes
+1 file descriptor. Performance will degrade beyond 1,024 ports per bridge due
+to fixed hash table sizing. Other platforms may have different limitations.
