meter-add
name action rate unit [burst]
Adds the specified meter. name must be a unique name to
identify this meter. The action argument specifies what
should happen when this meter is exceeded. The only
supported action is drop
.
The unit specifies the unit for the rate argument; valid
values are kbps
and pktps
for kilobits per second and
packets per second, respectively. The burst option
configures the maximum burst allowed for the band in
kilobits or packets depending on whether the unit chosen
was kbps
or pktps
, respectively. If a burst is not
supplied, the switch is free to select some reasonable
value depending on its configuration.
ovn-nbctl
only supports adding a meter with a single band,
but the other commands support meters with multiple bands.
Names that start with "__" (two underscores) are reserved
for internal use by OVN, so ovn-nbctl
does not allow
adding them.
meter-del
[name]
Deletes meters. By default, all meters are deleted. If
name is supplied, only the meter with that name will be
deleted.
meter-list
Lists all meters.
