Hi,
                I have a quad-port in my system of which I have connected interfaces eth5 and eth4 as OvS ports 1 and 2 respectively. And I used local IPs for the two interfaces i.i I created the IPs using ifconfig command.(eth4-10.1.6.1 and eth5-10.1.6.2)

               I used the following commands:
                ovs-vsctl set Interface eth4 ingress_policing_rate=1000
                ovs-vsctl set Interface eth4 ingress_policing_burst=100
                ovs-vsctl set Interface eth5 ingress_policing_rate=10000
                ovs-vsctl set Interface eth5 ingress_policing_burst=1000


               I used the following  iperf commands to generate traffic:
                  iperf -s -B 10.1.6.1
                  iperf -c 10.1.6.1 -B 10.1.6.2

        But there is no rate-limiting done. The BW of the traffic transfer is about 40 Gbits/sec.

       

Also, I tried to create queues on eth5 and enqueue traffic from eth4 to a queue in eth5. 

          The commands I used are:
           ovs-vsctl set port eth5 qos=@newqos -- --id=@newqos create qos type=linux-htb other-config:max-rate=20000 queues=0=@q0,1=@q1 -- --id=@q0 create queue other-config:min-rate=10000 other-config:max-rate=10000 -- --id=@q1 create queue other-config:min-rate=5000 other-config:max-rate=5000
             
            ovs-ofctl mod-flows br0 "in_port=2,dl_type=0x0800,nw_proto=6,tp_dst=6000 actions=enqueue:1:1"

There is no limiting of the rate in this case too.

    
 Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?

Thank you

Mathumitha
