This mostly because "QoS" can be interpreted in a lot of different ways, both from the conceptual and practical perspective. It is important in my opinion to clearly define the goals first. For instance a simple extensions for bandwidth limiting could be a reasonable target for the Liberty release. Moving things such as ECN into "future works" is the right thing to do in my opinion. Attempting to define a flexible framework that can deal with advanced QoS policies specification is a laudable effort, but I am a bit skeptical about its feasibility.

I'd start with bare APIs for specifying bandwidth limiting, and then phase them out once this "framework" is in place. Also note that this kind of design bears some overlap with the flavor framework which is probably going to be another goal for Liberty. Morever, consider using "common" tools such as the specs repo to share and discuss design documents. > >> It’s the first time I’m trying to organize an openstack/neutron >> meeting, so, I don’t know what’s the >> best way to do it, or find the best timeslot.

I was thinking that perhaps it might be a good idea to grab a design summit session as well (surely not a fishbowl one as they're totally unfit for this purpose). However, it might be good to achieve some sort of consensus before the summit, as as we know fairly well now the summit is probably the worst place where consensus can be achieved! > We'd need to fill in page [2], and find an empty slot on [3] > > Thanks for starting this thread! > > [1] > https://openstacksummitmay2015vancouver.sched.org/event/27eeef71d5f57997ac09b4c7783c72fe#.VSMIzJT-NhM > > [2] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/NeutronSubTeams > [3] https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Meetings > > > >> >> Miguel Ángel Ajo >> >> [1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/quantum-qos-api >> [2] >> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2XATqL7DxHFRHNjU3k1UFNYRjQ/view?usp=sharing >> [3] >> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xUx0Oq-txz_qVA2eYE1kIAJlwxGCSqXHgQEEGylwlZE/edit#heading=h.2pdgqfl3a231 >> [4] >> https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/explicit-congestion-notification >> >> __________________________________________________________________________ >> OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) >> Unsubscribe: >> [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe >> http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev >> >> > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev > >
