Support QoS DSCP marking rule
Summary
==========
After the blueprint https:/
Motivation
==========
DSCP marking has many use cases including congestion reduction and avoidance by means of traffic class prioritization; security; filtering; and routing.
Description :
=========
OpenStack’s QoS design contains the following conceptual resources relevant to this blueprint:
QoS policy
QoS rule
QoS DSCP marking rule
A policy contains zero or more rules and may be applied to a network or a port, at which point all rules of the policy are applied to the network or port, if possible. A QoS rule is an abstraction whose current implementations are the QoS bandwidth limit rule and the QoS DSCP marking rule. When a policy containing a DSCP marking rule is applied to an OVS port, neutron’s OVS agent will configure OVS to update its flow table entries so that the requested mark will be applied to egress traffic—that is, packets entering that OVS port from the VM.
UX
===
With this change, the end-user will be able to manage QoS DSCP marking rules through Horizon, which will offer the DSCP-related functionality currently available through the neutron CLI. The DSCP implementation in Horizon will piggy-back current development efforts that implement QoS policy management in Horizon. This new effort combined with the aforementioned one will enable full life-cycle management of the QoS DSCP marking rule:
[1] Create a QoS policy
[2] Create a DSCP marking rule for a QoS policy
[3] Show a DSCP marking rule for a QoS policy
[4] Apply a QoS policy to a port or network
[5] Update a DSCP marking rule (by changing the mark value)
[6] Delete a DSCP marking rule from a QoS policy
[7] Remove a QoS policy from a network or a port
[8] Delete a QoS policy
Of those, the following use cases will be handled by the changes associated with this blueprint:
[2] Create a DSCP marking rule for a QoS policy
[3] Show a DSCP marking rule for a QoS policy
[5] Update a DSCP marking rule (by changing the mark value)
[6] Delete a DSCP marking rule from a QoS policy
