Hi Jinsheng,

I asked as I have mixed the "K" as 1000. Thank you for the explanation, I'm clear now.
And I found the "inbound.peak   : 200" was calculated to "ceil 1638Kbit", maybe 1600Kbit is more reasonable? as I found for other interface type like nat, it was 1600Kbit from tc output. Please help to confirm, Thank you!

# virsh domiftune rhel vnet5

inbound.average: 100

inbound.peak   : 200

inbound.burst  : 256

...

#  tc -d class show  dev vnet5

class htb 1:1 parent 1:fffe prio 0 quantum 10240 rate 819200bit ceil 1638Kbit linklayer ethernet burst 256Kb/1 mpu 0b cburst 256Kb/1 mpu 0b level 0 

class htb 1:fffe root rate 1638Kbit ceil 1638Kbit linklayer ethernet burst 1499b/1 mpu 0b cburst 1499b/1 mpu 0b level 7

Hi Yalan,

It seems that there is no output error abount inbound settings from your statistics. 100KB is short for 100 kilobytes, and 1 byte is 8 bit, therefore 100 kilobytes is 800 kilobit and is also 1024*800 bit which is 819200 bit or 800 Kbit for short. Similarly, 200 KB is equal to 1600Kbit.

 

From your test results, inbound.average is set to 400 KB which is 400 * 1024 * 8 bit(approximately 3.2*10^6 bits). outbound.average is set to 100 KB which is approximately 0.8*10^6 bits. Considering peek and burst is larger than average. The netperf test result is meaningful.

 

For the second bug mentioned, after create the ovs-net, tc rules are created. But when attach an interface to an instance, qos settings is not add to port neither in xml or tc . It is a bug, I think. I will think about fixing this.

Hi Jinsheng, 

 

Thank you for the explanation. >From the statistics above, the tc outputs for outbound matches. But I'm confused about the inbound statistics:

# virsh domiftune rhel vnet5

inbound. approximately 3.2*10^6 bits: 100

inbound.peak   : 200

inbound.burst  : 256

...

#  tc -d class show  dev vnet5

class htb 1:1 parent 1:fffe prio 0 quantum 10240 rate 819200bit ceil 1638Kbit linklayer ethernet burst 256Kb/1 mpu 0b cburst 256Kb/1 mpu 0b level 0 

class htb 1:fffe root rate 1638Kbit ceil 1638Kbit linklayer ethernet burst 1499b/1 mpu 0b cburst 1499b/1 mpu 0b level 7 

 

As the value in libvirt xml is KB, inbound.average: *100 KB* can not match with *"rate 819200bit"* in tc outputs, I supposed it should be 800Kbit. Please help to confirm.

And so does "ceil 1638Kbit" (may be it should be 1600Kbit as "inbound.peak   : 200").

 

I have run netperf to test the actual rate, the result is pass. 2 vm connected to the same bridge, set one vm with Qos, see test results below:

# virsh domiftune rhel vnet0
inbound.average: 400
inbound.peak   : 500
inbound.burst  : 125
inbound.floor  : 0
outbound.average: 100
outbound.peak  : 200
outbound.burst : 256

Throughput for inbound:  3.92 * 10^6bits/sec

Throughput for outbound:  0.93 * 10^6bits/sec

 

These patches fixed the bug [1] which closed with deferred resolution. Thank you!

And this reminds me of another ovs Qos related bug [2], which was about network.

And I tried with the scenarios in [2], there are no changes(not fixed). Just for information. :-)

Hi Yalan,

 

1)       For inbound, we can use `ovs-vsctl list qos` and `ovs-vsctl list queue`  to check them from the openvswitch side. Values can be found in other_config.  Inbound is in kbyte when set qos with `virsh    domiftune …`, well it is in bit in ovs, Therefore, when inbound.average is set to 100, the corresponding value will be  set to 819200 in ovs.

2)       For outbound, it is in kbyte in libvirt and ingress_policing_XX in ovs interface is in kbit.

3)       Ovs use tc to set qos, so we can see output from tc command.

This patch is to unify the qos control and query on ovs ports.

The conversion explanation is added in this patch: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2021-August/msg00422.html

And there are 6 following patches to fix some bugs. See https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2021-August/msg00423.html

Hi Jinsheng,

 

I have tested the patch and have some questions, could you please help to confirm?

1) For inbound, how to check it from the openvswitch side? tc will still show the statistics, is that expected?

2) For outbound, the peak is ignored. I just can not understand the "ingress_policing_burst: 2048", how can it come from the setting "outbound.burst : 256"?

3) Is the output from tc command expected?

 

Test inbound:

1. start vm with setting as below:

 <interface type='bridge'>
      <source bridge='ovsbr0'/>
      <virtualport type='openvswitch'/>

<bandwidth>

        <inbound average='100' peak='200' burst='256'/>

      </bandwidth>

...

</interface>
