that's correct. with the --slicing option, the reference switch creates a root
queue with associated queueing discipline (in this case, hierarchical token
bucket, HTB) using the Linux traffic control (tc) subsystem. this allows you to
create and modify per-port queues using OpenFlow 1.0 extensions as described
here: http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/Slicing
three places to get started learning about tc are: 'man tc',
http://linux-ip.net/articles/Traffic-Control-HOWTO/ and
http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.qdisc.html
good luck!
