Hi, Ricado,

I’m sure that HTB can work well in OVS. Could you please paste your HTB 
parameters and flow configurations? Then I might know what is the problem.

And another question, how long is your queues (queue size) of HTB? Thanks.

Best regards,
Xilong Zhang

Subject: [ovs-discuss] QoS HTB queue prioritization

Hello,

I'm setting up a scenario in Open vSwitch where I have multiple flows that can 
be differentiated by 2 groups with different QoS configurations.

Each flow from the first group has a low bandwidth requirement and should be 
prioritized over the traffic from the second group flows. Each flow from the 
second group needs a higher amount of bandwidth.

So far my configuration consists in creating a HTB QoS entry in each used node 
with OVS for all the ports used to route the traffic. Then I create 2 queues, 
one for each group of traffic and add flow rules with the appropriate enqueue 
options.

In order to prioritize the traffic from one queue to another, I'm configuring 
the queues with the "priority" option, having the first group queue with 
priority 1 and the second with priority 2.

However, I still experience packet loss in flows from the first group with this 
setup (the required bandwidth from these flows is short). Do you maybe know 
what's causing it? Shouldn't this configuration theoretically work?

I was playing with the available HTB options in Open vSwitch and so far the 
only way to avoid packet loss in group 1 flows was to create a max-rate value 
in the other queue, limiting the available bandwidth, but I want to avoid 
limiting the queues' bandwidth, only prioritize the respective traffic.

I am using Open vSwitch 2.3.0 with Ubuntu Server 14.04.1.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Best regards,
Ricardo Santos
