[ovs-dev] [RFC v2 2/2] ingress scheduling: Provide per interface ingress priority

Billy O'Mahony billy.o.mahony at intel.com
Wed Mar 28 22:11:58 UTC 2018


Allow configuration to specify an ingress priority for interfaces.
Modify ovs-netdev datapath to act on this configuration so that packets
on interfaces with a higher priority will tend be processed ahead of
packets on lower priority interfaces.  This protects traffic on higher
priority interfaces from loss and latency as PMDs get overloaded.
