[ovs-discuss] How to control incoming traffic of VMs?

[张锦成]

Hi, Ben
   In this website(
http://openvswitch.org/support/config-cookbooks/qos-rate-limiting/), it
says “ingress_policing_rate”: the max-rate in kbps that this VM should be
allowed to send, which means the outgoing traffic.
   But in  ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5), it says "ingress_policing_rate: Maximum
rate for data received on this interface, in kbps. Data received faster
than this rate isdropped. Set to 0 (the default) to disable policing.",
which means the incoming traffic.
   Is there any error?
