Hi all,

I am very new to openvswitch.
I have a few doubts, would be great if someone can answer those.

I know that Openvswitch has support for rate limiting the traffic on a
particular port.
Is there a way to rate limit the traffic on the basis of what application
traffic it is?

I guess openvswitch being at dataplane would not allow for DPI,
so how can the OvS differentiate based on the 'Kind' of traffic that is
being sent(If at all).
If not, then would it be possible to do it using the controller somehow?

Regards,
Yagyesh
