William, I have several flows to share a meter, at the time, every flow has its own meter, they look like the below:
table=0,ip,nw_src=10.0.0.2 actions=meter:1,meter:4, ...other-actions table=0,ip,nw_src=10.0.0.3 actions=meter:2,meter:4, ...other-actions table=0,ip,nw_src=10.0.0.3 actions=meter:3,meter:4, ...other-actions meter 4 are shared by three flows so that we can let tenants leverage their bandwidth more efficient between three flows, so total limit is 100Mbps, every one limit is 50Mbps, if flow 3 has lower bandwidth utilization rate, flow 1 and 2 can leverage it. I can get every flow stats and also can get all the flows stats by meter 4, that is what I'm saying. I think supporting it isn't a big technical issue, it will be great if you can add this feature, I think it is very helpful, we have real use cases which is called shared bandwith. -----邮件原件----- 发件人: William Tu [mailto:u9012...@gmail.com] 发送时间: 2019年8月10日 0:54 收件人: Yi Yang (杨燚)-云服务集团 <yangy...@inspur.com> 抄送: ovs-dev@openvswitch.org; ovs-disc...@openvswitch.org 主题: Re: [ovs-discuss] why action "meter" only can be specified once?

You can create multiple meters and each flow can use it own meter to rate limit, right? > > > ovs-ofctl: instruction meter may be specified only once How do you get this error? Thanks William
