Hi all,
I am trying to use OVS to do rate limiting through OpenFlow1.3.
At first, I use Mininet to add a bridge.
*sudo mn --switch ovsk,protocols=OpenFlow13*
And I try to *add meter in s1* which generated by Mininet,
*sudo ovs-ofctl add-meter s1 meter=1,kbps,bands=type=drop,rate=100 -O
OpenFlow13*
and then I get the error message,
OFPT_ERROR (OF1.3) (xid=0x2): *OFPMMFC_OUT_OF_METERS*
OFPT_METER_MOD (OF1.3) (xid=0x2): ADD meter=1 kbps bands=
type=drop rate=100
In OpenFlow 1.3 Spec, we could find that
OFPMMFC_OUT_OF_METERS = 10,
* /* No more meters available. */*
And I try to see the meter features, it shows below,
* sudo ovs-ofctl meter-features s1 -O OpenFlow13 *
OFPST_METER_FEATURES reply (OF1.3) (xid=0x2):
*max_meter:0 max_bands:0* max_color:0
band_types: 0
capabilities: 0
It seems that the OVS 2.3.0 has not supported the meter table yet.
Any suggestions? Does I use the wrong command? Maybe I should try to use
OVS 2.5.0? Thanks in advance.
Bests,
Shawn Lin
