>>> Purpose
This document helps us understand how QoS works in OpenVSwitch.
This document can be used as a warming up before a good tutorial(URL is shown below at References)
to create a floodlight module to handle QoS.
>>> Reference
- How to create QoS Service Module
- man ovs-vsctl (Quality of Service (QoS) section)
>>> Outline
QoS is the service to differentiate delivery service.
In some packets, it is delivered at high speed, but others can be delivered at lower speed.
Based on my understanding, key essence of QoS at OpenVSwitch is to create queues with different speed, and put packets into different queues depending on QoS policy.
This document does not handle all of them, but just taste how to configure OpenVSwitch for QoS.
In detail. we just create a queue with low speed, and QoS use the queue.
We expect transfer rate is reduced (2Mbps) as a result.
Though this does not show all deployment of QoS, it can be a starting point of QoS.
For more detail, please refer to a Reference URL (above).

>>> Create a qos with a low-speed queue (at any switch on path)
Following command does ..
1) create a queue(q0)
q0 (2 Mbps): --id=@q0 create queue other-config:min-rate=2000000 other-config:max-rate=2000000
2) create a qos (newqos) and connect a queue into the qos
--id=@newqos create qos type=linux-htb queues=0=@q0
3) connect a created qos (newqos) to a existing port (eth1)
set port eth1 qos=@newqos
Thus, port(eth1) -- qos(newqos) -- queue(q1)
root@switch:~# ovs-vsctl set port eth1 qos=@newqos -- --id=@newqos create qos type=linux-htb queues=0=@q0 -- --id=@q0 create queue other-config:min-rate=2000000 other-config:max-rate=2000000

>>> Discussion
Here, we used just a queue. With multiple queues in a qos, we can handle packets for different services.
That is, high-serviced packets are forwared to high-speed queue.
For more information, again you may want to refer a Reference URL (above at reference section)
Now, you may want to disconnect qos from a port and remove queue and qos, then want to test speed again. For commands to remove, please see following appendix.
>>> Appendix: Some useful commands for qos.
Here, I show just screen captures related to qos.

- create a qos and two queues(for the qos) and connect the qos into a port
Following command does ..
1) create two queues (q1, q2)
q1 (1000 Mbps): --id=@q0 create queue other-config:min-rate=1000000000 other-config:max-rate=100000000
q2 (2 Mbps): --id=@q1 create queue other-config:min-rate=2000000 other-config:max-rate=2000000
2) create a qos (newqos) and connect two queues into the qos
--id=@newqos create qos type=linux-htb queues=0=@q0,1=@q1
3) connect a created qos (newqos) to a existing port (eth1)
set port eth1 qos=@newqos
Thus, port(eth1) -- qos(newqos) -- queues(q1,q2)
root@switch:~# ovs-vsctl set port eth1 qos=@newqos -- --id=@newqos create qos type=linux-htb queues=0=@q0,1=@q1 -- --id=@q0 create queue other-config:min-rate=1000000000 other-config:max-rate=100000000 -- --id=@q1 create queue other-config:min-rate=2000000 other-config:max-rate=2000000
