Hi All, please find attached an RFC patch set for prioritizing latency sensitive traffic as discussed previously - https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-discuss/2017-May/044395.html
The patch works for the supported field types but should not be considered at all complete - at this stage I'd like to get an idea if people agree with general layout of the implementation. With this patchset prioritized ingress scheduling can be achieved based on: * eth_type * src & dst ip and port number for UDP packets The patch uses Flow Director filter API in DPDK and has only been tested on a Fortville (XL710) NIC. This is RFC so there are things it does not take into account: * reconfiguration - of the ingress_sched config of pmd masks and so on. * pmd:rxq assingment - prioritized queues ideally should not be assinged to the same pmd. * documentation * ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-*-show o/p should indicate rxq prioritization. * any requirements for a more granular prioritization mechanism * ... * <ovs-dev/discuss input here much appreciated :) > Regards, Billy.
