      1. Proposed title of this feature request

      The documentation section "OpenShift Container Platform tested cluster maximums for major releases" [[1] |https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.17/scalability_and_performance/planning-your-environment-according-to-object-maximums.html]has not been updated with the replacement of Network plugin from Openshift SDN to OVN. In OCP 4.17, Openshift SDN has been removed, but in the "Number of services" limit, is still 10.000 with the note "Each service port and each service back-end has a corresponding entry in iptables.

      The number of back-ends of a given service impact the size of the Endpoints objects, which impacts the size of data that is being sent all over the system." This was valid for Openshift SDN, but not for OVN. Please, update this section with OVN.

      Also, we'd like Red Hat to include also a maximum number of Endpoints. You can have 100 services with no endpoints (a deployment with 0 replicas), with 1 endpoint per service (100 endpoints), or 400 endpoints per service (40.000 endpoints). In our case , we have deployments from 20 to 400 replicas, so the number of endpoints are over 100.000. [1]
