Thanks Ben using flow rules i can send it to the desired queues. currently i see only 2 types of Qos was supported : linux-htb and linux-hfsc. if i use linux-htb, what it actually gives me was bandwidth shared priority queue.
lets take an example i will create 2 queues. q1 i will use for arp and icmp packets q2 i will use for data packets if max rate of port was 1gig. lets say both can have max rate of 1 gig each how to make sure that Control packets in q1 are processed first before processing data packets in q2. so that packets may not get dropped in Q1. I did not see much info about this in OVS,not in linux-htb docs. linux-htb docs says more on rate-limiting but my requirement is during congestion, Control packet software queues should empty first before data packet queues Appreciate you valuable answers Regards kapil.
