[Bug 2052906] [NEW] OpenVSwitch HTB QoS not efficient for a lot of interfaces

 

Public bug reported:

Hello,
Recently i've found out that linux-htb is hardcoded to QoS section in neutron-agent's code. For a small workloads it's enough but in case there is 200+ interfaces this makes overall performance to suffer due to high irq. I guess we could try to use mqprio in order to balance tc's flows over multiple queues but is it supported scenario for neutron-agent ? I'm really not sure that DPDK able to help in this case.

Conditions:
OpenStack Zed
Openvswitch (vanilla, not a DPDK)
400 interfaces with QoS on each

** Affects: neutron
