The concern that I have is that I think the actual meter implementation needs to be better integrated with the rest of the kernel in order to be upstreamable. I'm a little nervous about defining an API until we have at least one implementation that could be used in practice. The other thing that I think would be good to talk about is how this relates to the existing QoS features and other possible ways that we might want to extend meters in the future. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
