Quality of Service (QoS)
QoS is defined as the ability to guarantee certain network
requirements like bandwidth, latency, jitter, and reliability in order
to satisfy a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between an application
provider and end users.
Network devices such as switches and routers can mark traffic so that
it is handled with a higher priority to fulfill the QoS conditions
agreed under the SLA. In other cases, certain network traffic such as
Voice over IP (VoIP) and video streaming needs to be transmitted with
minimal bandwidth constraints. On a system without network QoS
management, all traffic will be transmitted in a “best-effort” manner
making it impossible to guarantee service delivery to customers.
QoS is an advanced service plug-in. QoS is decoupled from the rest of
the OpenStack Networking code on multiple levels and it is available
through the ml2 extension driver.
Details about the DB models, API extension, and use cases are out of
the scope of this guide but can be found in the Neutron
QoS specification.
Supported QoS rule types
QoS supported rule types are now available as
VALID_RULE_TYPES
in QoS
rule types:
- bandwidth_limit: Bandwidth limitations on networks, ports or
floating IPs. - packet_rate_limit: Packet rate limitations on certain types of
traffic. - dscp_marking: Marking network traffic with a DSCP value.
- minimum_bandwidth: Minimum bandwidth constraints on certain types of
traffic. - minimum_packet_rate: Minimum packet rate constraints on certain
types of traffic.
Any QoS driver can claim support for some QoS rule types by providing
a driver property called supported_rules
, the QoS driver
manager will recalculate rule types dynamically that the QoS driver
supports. In the most simple case, the property can be represented by a
simple Python list defined on the class.
The following table shows the Networking back ends, QoS supported
rules, and traffic directions (from the VM point of view).
Rule \ back end | Open vSwitch | SR-IOV | Linux bridge | OVN |
---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Egress (1) | Egress \ Ingress | Egress \ Ingress |
|
|
– | – | – |
|
|
Egress \ Ingress (2) | – | – |
|
|
– | – | – |
|
|
– | Egress | Egress |
Note
- Max burst parameter is skipped because it is not supported by the IP
tool. - Placement based enforcement works for both egress and ingress
directions, but dataplane enforcement depends on the backend.
Enforcement type Backend | Open vSwitch | SR-IOV | Linux Bridge | OVN |
---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note
- Since Newton
- Since Stein
- Open vSwitch minimum bandwidth support is only implemented for
egress direction and only for networks without tunneled traffic (only
VLAN and flat network types).
Note
The SR-IOV agent does not support dataplane enforcement for ports
with direct-physical
vnic_type. However since Yoga the
Placement enforcement is supported for this vnic_type too.
Enforcement type Backend | Open vSwitch | SR-IOV | Linux Bridge | OVN |

Note
- Minimum packet rate rule supports
any
direction that
can be used with non-hardware-offloaded OVS deployments, where packets
processed from both ingress and egress directions are handled by the
same set of CPU cores. - Since Yoga.
For an ml2 plug-in, the list of supported QoS rule types and
parameters is defined as a common subset of rules supported by all
active mechanism drivers. A QoS rule is always attached to a QoS policy.
When a rule is created or updated:
- The QoS plug-in will check if this rule and parameters are supported
by any active mechanism driver if the QoS policy is not attached to any
port or network. - The QoS plug-in will check if this rule and parameters are supported
by the mechanism drivers managing those ports if the QoS policy is
attached to any port or network.
Valid DSCP Marks
Valid DSCP mark values are even numbers between 0 and 56, except 2-6,
42, 44, and 50-54. The full list of valid DSCP marks is:
0, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40,
46, 48, 56
L3 QoS support
The Neutron L3 services have implemented their own QoS extensions.
Currently only bandwidth limit QoS is provided. This is the L3 QoS
extension list:
- Floating IP bandwidth limit: the rate limit is applied per floating
IP address independently. - Gateway IP bandwidth limit: the rate limit is applied in the router
namespace gateway port (or in the SNAT namespace in case of DVR edge
router). The rate limit applies to the gateway IP; that means all
traffic using this gateway IP will be limited. This rate limit does not
apply to the floating IP traffic.
L3 services that provide QoS extensions:
- L3 router: implements the rate limit using Linux
TC. - OVN L3: implements the rate limit using the OVN
QoS metering rules.
The following table shows the L3 service, the QoS supported
extension, and traffic directions (from the VM point of view) for
bandwidth limiting.

Configuration
To enable the service on a cloud with the architecture described in
Networking
architecture, follow the steps below:
On the controller nodes:
-
Add the QoS service to the
service_plugins
setting
in/etc/neutron/neutron.conf
. For example:service_plugins = router,metering,qos
-
Optionally, set the needed
notification_drivers
in
the[qos]
section in/etc/neutron/neutron.conf
(message_queue
is the default). -
Optionally, in order to enable the floating IP QoS extension
qos-fip
, set theservice_plugins
option in
/etc/neutron/neutron.conf
to include both
router
andqos
. For example:service_plugins = router,qos
-
In
/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
, add
qos
toextension_drivers
in the
[ml2]
section. For example: -
Edit the configuration file for the agent you are using and set
theextensions
to includeqos
in the
[agent]
section of the configuration file. The agent
configuration file will reside in
/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/<agent_name>_agent.ini
where
agent_name
is the name of the agent being used (for example
openvswitch
). For example:
On the network and compute nodes:
-
Edit the configuration file for the agent you are using and set
theextensions
to includeqos
in the
[agent]
section of the configuration file. The agent
configuration file will reside in
/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/<agent_name>_agent.ini
where
agent_name
is the name of the agent being used (for example
openvswitch
). For example: -
Optionally, in order to enable QoS for floating IPs, set the
extensions
option in the[agent]
section of
/etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini
to includefip_qos
.
Ifdvr
is enabled, this has to be done for all the L3
agents. For example:
Note
Floating IP associated to neutron port or to port forwarding can all
have bandwidth limit since Stein release. These neutron server side and
agent side extension configs will enable it once for all.
-
Optionally, in order to enable QoS for router gateway IPs, set
theextensions
option in the[agent]
section
of/etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini
to include
gateway_ip_qos
. Set this to all thedvr_snat
orlegacy
L3 agents. For example:And
gateway_ip_qos
should work together with the
fip_qos
in L3 agent for centralized routers, then all L3
IPs with binding QoS policy can be limited under the QoS bandwidth limit
rules: -
As rate limit doesn’t work on Open vSwitch’s
internal
ports, optionally, as a workaround, to make QoS
bandwidth limit work on router’s gateway ports, set
ovs_use_veth
toTrue
inDEFAULT
section in/etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini
Note
QoS currently works with ml2 only (SR-IOV, Open vSwitch, and
linuxbridge are drivers enabled for QoS).
DSCP marking
on outer header for overlay networks
When using overlay networks (e.g., VxLAN), the DSCP marking rule only
applies to the inner header, and during encapsulation, the DSCP mark is
not automatically copied to the outer header.
-
In order to set the DSCP value of the outer header, modify the
dscp
configuration option in
/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/<agent_name>_agent.ini
where
<agent_name>
is the name of the agent being used
(e.g.,openvswitch
): -
In order to copy the DSCP field of the inner header to the outer
header, change thedscp_inherit
configuration option to
true in
/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/<agent_name>_agent.ini
where
<agent_name>
is the name of the agent being used
(e.g.,openvswitch
):If the
dscp_inherit
option is set to true, the previous
dscp
option is overwritten.
Trusted projects
policy.yaml configuration
If projects are trusted to administrate their own QoS policies in
your cloud, neutron’s file policy.yaml
can be modified to
allow this.
Modify /etc/neutron/policy.yaml
policy entries as
follows:
"get_policy": "rule:regular_user",
"create_policy": "rule:regular_user",
"update_policy": "rule:regular_user",
"delete_policy": "rule:regular_user",
"get_rule_type": "rule:regular_user",
To enable bandwidth limit rule:
"get_policy_bandwidth_limit_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"create_policy_bandwidth_limit_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"delete_policy_bandwidth_limit_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"update_policy_bandwidth_limit_rule": "rule:regular_user",
To enable DSCP marking rule:
"get_policy_dscp_marking_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"create_policy_dscp_marking_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"delete_policy_dscp_marking_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"update_policy_dscp_marking_rule": "rule:regular_user",
To enable minimum bandwidth rule:
"get_policy_minimum_bandwidth_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"create_policy_minimum_bandwidth_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"delete_policy_minimum_bandwidth_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"update_policy_minimum_bandwidth_rule": "rule:regular_user",
To enable minimum packet rate rule:
"get_policy_minimum_packet_rate_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"create_policy_minimum_packet_rate_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"delete_policy_minimum_packet_rate_rule": "rule:regular_user",
"update_policy_minimum_packet_rate_rule": "rule:regular_user",
User workflow
QoS policies are only created by admins with the default
policy.yaml
. Therefore, you should have the cloud operator
set them up on behalf of the cloud projects.
If projects are trusted to create their own policies, check the
trusted projects policy.yaml
configuration section.
First, create a QoS policy and its bandwidth limit rule:
$ openstack network qos policy create bw-limiter
+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
| description | |
| id | 5df855e9-a833-49a3-9c82-c0839a5f103f |
| is_default | False |
| name | bw-limiter |
| project_id | 4db7c1ed114a4a7fb0f077148155c500 |
| rules | [] |
| shared | False |
+-------------------+--------------------------------------+
$ openstack network qos rule create --type bandwidth-limit --max-kbps 3000 \
--max-burst-kbits 2400 --egress bw-limiter
+----------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+----------------+--------------------------------------+
| direction | egress |
| id | 92ceb52f-170f-49d0-9528-976e2fee2d6f |
| max_burst_kbps | 2400 |
| max_kbps | 3000 |
| name | None |
| project_id | |
+----------------+--------------------------------------+
Note
The QoS implementation requires a burst value to ensure proper
behavior of bandwidth limit rules in the Open vSwitch and Linux bridge
agents. Configuring the proper burst value is very important. If the
burst value is set too low, bandwidth usage will be throttled even with
a proper bandwidth limit setting. This issue is discussed in various
documentation sources, for example in Juniper’s
documentation. For TCP traffic it is recommended to set burst value
as 80% of desired bandwidth limit value. For example, if the bandwidth
limit is set to 1000kbps then enough burst value will be 800kbit. If the
configured burst value is too low, achieved bandwidth limit will be
lower than expected. If the configured burst value is too high, too few
packets could be limited and achieved bandwidth limit would be higher
than expected. If you do not provide a value, it defaults to 80% of the
bandwidth limit which works for typical TCP traffic.
Second, associate the created policy with an existing neutron port.
In order to do this, user extracts the port id to be associated to the
already created policy. In the next example, we will assign the
bw-limiter
policy to the VM with IP address
192.0.2.1
.
$ openstack port list
+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
| ID | Fixed IP Addresses |
+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

+--------------------------------------+-----------------------------------+
$ openstack port set --qos-policy bw-limiter \
88101e57-76fa-4d12-b0e0-4fc7634b874a
In order to detach a port from the QoS policy, simply update again
the port configuration.
$ openstack port unset --qos-policy 88101e57-76fa-4d12-b0e0-4fc7634b874a
Ports can be created with a policy attached to them too.
$ openstack port create --qos-policy bw-limiter --network private port1

You can attach networks to a QoS policy. The meaning of this is that
any compute port connected to the network will use the network policy by
default unless the port has a specific policy attached to it. Internal
network owned ports like DHCP and internal router ports are excluded
from network policy application.
In order to attach a QoS policy to a network, update an existing
network, or initially create the network attached to the policy.
$ openstack network set --qos-policy bw-limiter private
The created policy can be associated with an existing floating IP. In
order to do this, user extracts the floating IP id to be associated to
the already created policy. In the next example, we will assign the
bw-limiter
policy to the floating IP address
172.16.100.18
.
$ openstack floating ip list
+--------------------------------------+---------------------+------------------+------+-----+
| ID | Floating IP Address | Fixed IP Address | Port | ... |

+--------------------------------------+---------------------+------------------+------+-----+
$ openstack floating ip set --qos-policy bw-limiter d0ed7491-3eb7-4c4f-a0f0-df04f10a067c
In order to detach a floating IP from the QoS policy, simply update
the floating IP configuration.
$ openstack floating ip set --no-qos-policy d0ed7491-3eb7-4c4f-a0f0-df04f10a067c
Or use the unset
action.
$ openstack floating ip unset --qos-policy d0ed7491-3eb7-4c4f-a0f0-df04f10a067c
Floating IPs can be created with a policy attached to them too.
$ openstack floating ip create --qos-policy bw-limiter public

The QoS bandwidth limit rules attached to a floating IP will become
active when you associate the latter with a port. For example, to
associate the previously created floating IP 172.16.100.12
to the instance port with uuid
a7f25e73-4288-4a16-93b9-b71e6fd00862
and fixed IP
192.168.222.5
:
$ openstack floating ip set --port a7f25e73-4288-4a16-93b9-b71e6fd00862 \
0eeb1f8a-de96-4cd9-a0f6-3f535c409558
Note
The QoS policy attached to a floating IP is not applied to a port, it
is applied to an associated floating IP only. Thus the ID of QoS policy
attached to a floating IP will not be visible in a port’s
qos_policy_id
field after asscoating a floating IP to the
port. It is only visible in the floating IP attributes.
Note
For now, the L3 agent floating IP QoS extension only supports
bandwidth_limit
rules. Other rule types (like DSCP marking)
will be silently ignored for floating IPs. A QoS policy that does not
contain any bandwidth_limit
rules will have no effect when
attached to a floating IP.
If floating IP is bound to a port, and both have binding QoS
bandwidth rules, the L3 agent floating IP QoS extension ignores the
behavior of the port QoS, and installs the rules from the QoS policy
associated to the floating IP on the appropriate device in the router
namespace.
Each project can have at most one default QoS policy, although it is
not mandatory. If a default QoS policy is defined, all new networks
created within this project will have this policy assigned, as long as
no other QoS policy is explicitly attached during the creation process.
If the default QoS policy is unset, no change to existing networks will
be made.
In order to set a QoS policy as default, the parameter
--default
must be used. To unset this QoS policy as
default, the parameter --no-default
must be used.

Note
The unit for the rate and burst is kilo (1000) packets per
second.
Now apply the packet rate limit QoS policy to a Port:
$ openstack port set --qos-policy pps-limiter 251948bd-08e4-4569-a47f-ecbc1fd4af4d
Note
Packet rate limit is only supported by the ml2 ovs driver. And it
leverages the meter actions of the ovs kernel datapath or the userspace
ovs dpdk datapath. The meter action is only supported when the datapath
is in user mode or ovs kernel datapath with kernerl version >=
4.15.
Administrator enforcement
Administrators are able to enforce policies on project ports or
networks. As long as the policy is not shared, the project is not be
able to detach any policy attached to a network or port.
If the policy is shared, the project is able to attach or detach such
policy from its own ports and networks.
Rule modification
You can modify rules at runtime. Rule modifications will be
propagated to any attached port.
$ openstack network qos rule set --max-kbps 2000 --max-burst-kbits 1600 \
--ingress bw-limiter 92ceb52f-170f-49d0-9528-976e2fee2d6f

You can create, update, list, delete, and show DSCP markings with the
neutron client:
$ openstack network qos rule create --type dscp-marking --dscp-mark 26 \

A policy with a minimum bandwidth ensures best efforts are made to
provide no less than the specified bandwidth to each port on which the
rule is applied. However, as this feature is not yet integrated with the
Compute scheduler, minimum bandwidth cannot be guaranteed.
It is also possible to combine several rules in one policy, as long
as the type or direction of each rule is different. For example, You can
specify two bandwidth-limit
rules, one with
egress
and one with ingress
direction.
$ openstack network qos rule create --type bandwidth-limit \
--max-kbps 50000 --max-burst-kbits 50000 --egress bandwidth-control
