[ovs-discuss] queue table priority problem

[Ben Pfaff]

Either way, it doesn't matter.  The question is, can you configure the
Linux kernel qdiscs to do what you want?  If so, then ovs-vswitchd can
(possibly with some work) configure it that way too.  If not, then
you'll have to do some kernel work.
