Hi All,

In openvswitch, an interface is nothing but a "netdev". A port can have a
single interface associated with it or multiple interfaces in case of
bonding. Now, when it comes to applying QoS policies, the ingress policing
is applied to an interface where as the port level QoS has the egress
Queues and egress rate limiting.

I understood that the reason for *"applying ingress rate limiting on
interface"* is because the traffic is first seen by the actual netdev and
then the vswitch takes actions later.* *And the reason for *"applying
egress rate limiting on port"* is because the traffic is first seen by the
vswitch port (not the interface). Could you please confirm if my
understanding is correct.

Thanks & Regards,
Jagadish
