Create a QoS policy¶

After you enable the Neutron Quality of Service feature, configure a QoS policy to prioritize one type of traffic over the other. This section describes basic operations. For more information, see: OpenStack documentation.

To create a QoS policy:

1. Log in to an OpenStack controller node.

2. Create a QoS policy:

   neutron qos-policy-create bw-limiter
   

3. Add a rule to the QoSpolicy:

   neutron qos-bandwidth-limit-rule-create bw-limiter --max-kbps 3000000
   

4. Apply the QoS policy:

   • To a new network:

     neutron net-create <network-name> --qos-policy bw-limiter
     

   • To an existing network:

     neutron net-update test --qos-policy bw-limiter
     

   • To a new port:

     neutron port-create test --name sriov_port --binding:vnic_type direct
     --qos-policy bw-limiter
     

   • To an existing port:

     neutron port-update sriov_port --qos-policy bw-limiter
