In addition to the OFPAT_ENQUEUE action, the reference userspace switch also 
supports queue configuration as an OpenFlow extension: 
http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/Slicing

It, too, is just configuring the Linux QoS implementation under the hood (it 
calls out to /sbin/tc )


Also, if I'm not mistaken (still a newbie here!), the OpenFlow 1.1 spec 
supports matching on the ToS bits, so couldn't you write a flow rule which 
matches on the ToS bits and has OFPAT_SET_QUEUE as the action (looks like 1.1 
has changed the name from OFPAT_ENQUEUE)? Then you wouldn't need a controller 
involved at all...


cheers,
Andrew
