 \fBovs\-vswitchd\fR started through \fBovs\-ctl\fR(8) provides a limit of 65535
 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 three file descriptors and adding a port consumes
-"n-handler-threads" file descriptors per bridge port.  Performance will degrade

 may have different limitations.
