Hi Luciano,

I think you are confusing priority of a flow-entry with QoS-related
priority.
Priority will define which flow-entry the incoming packets will match. In
your case, traffic that goes to tp_dst=5060 matches both slices definition,
but it belongs (and therefore controlled) by the one with highest priority.
It doesn't have any impact on the rates these flows will achieve.

For this you might want to look at min-rate queues :
