I'm afraid that I don't understand the question. Are you asking how you'd backport meter support for an older kernel? If so, you'd need to talk to the Centos/Red Hat maintainers.

(Although, I expect you could use a newer version of OVS and an older OVN.) We plan to break that requirement so that each OVS and OVN can use different version going forward, but we're not there yet.

If you don't want to use meters, you could try looking at the "qos_max_rate" and "qos_burst" options in the ovn-nb man page, but I don't have any experience using them.
