[ovs-dev] ovs - rate limiter proposal - question

[Attila Czébán]

Dear Jean,

I read the following documentation about the rate limiter API.
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2011-January/005639.html
I have some questions about it.

We have an SDN testbed at Budapest University of Technology. We have
HP-E3500yl switches with K.15.15.0006 firmware and openvswitch-1.0.1
patched with the experimental QoS API.

When I use the following command, I get this:

sdnhost:~$ ovs-ofctl dump-limiters tcp:10.2.1.5:6633
error_msg (xid=0xcdfe1714): type1(OFPET_BAD_REQUEST) code2(OFPBRC_BAD_STAT)
payload:
stats_request (xid=0xcdfe1714): type=65535(vendor-specific)
 vendor=00080401 4 bytes additional data

If I try to creat a limiter entry, that would not be created:

ovs-ofctl add-limiter tcp:10.2.1.5:6633 1234 rate drop 1024

HP3# sh openflow instance test limiters
No limiters found for this instance

Unfortunately, I can't solve this issue.

Could you help me with some information, please?

Thanks,
Attila Czébán
