[ovs-discuss] ingress_policing_rate rule taking too long to kick in

[Frederico]

Ben,

No luck. I have tried different burst amounts. Ranging from 0 to 1024
and in every attempt it still takes some 5 to 10 seconds until I see
any effect. Also, the documentation doesn't say anything about any
delay regarding ingress policies.
