Hi all,
I have OpenVSwitch installed on one
computer which has a quad-port. I have two other computers connected to
two ports eth4 and eth5. I have eth4 connected to openflow port 2 and
eth5 connected to openflow port 1. I created 3 queues at eth5. If I set the
min-rate and max-rate to be equal for each queue, then I get the desired output
i.e all the queues output is at the configured rate but when I set the min-rate
and max-rate different, the total rate gets divided equally for all queues. Why
does it happen so?
I have used a python script to create the queues and form the flow table. I
have attached the python script.
After creating the queues and flow-table,
ovs-vsctl list queue gives:
_uuid : c0ecb2ca-d160-47e0-8aa6-706a16e0dee4
dscp : []
external_ids : {}
other_config : {max-rate="1000000000", min-rate="500000000"}
_uuid : b185925f-5d54-475f-99f7-7f7b4494ec7b
dscp : []
external_ids : {}
other_config : {max-rate="1000000000", min-rate="166666666"}
_uuid : d159b297-819d-4bf2-8b89-7c004f9e8870
dscp : []
external_ids : {}
other_config : {max-rate="1000000000", min-rate="333333333"}
ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 gives:
NXST_FLOW reply (xid=0x4):

When I use 3 server-client pairs and enqueue traffic from each client to a
separate queue, at the server side I get the rates 308 Mbps, 310 Mbps and 310
Mbps for the 3 server-client pairs. If I just use two clients and generate
traffic, then I get the rates 462 Mbps and 473 Mbps. According to the concept
of HTB, the min-rates should be assigned and the excess bandwidth should be
divided in proportion of their rates. Then, why is the max-rate getting equally
divided? Am I wrong in understanding HTB? Pls help me.
Thank you
