Thanks Ilya, your proposal works for me, not bad :-)

Hi.
If you'll try to use more recent OVS version, you'll get more informative error
message:
ovs-ofctl: duplicate meter instruction not allowed, for OpenFlow 1.1+
compatibility
So, it seems like an issue between different versions of OF standards.
Anyway, you may overcome this issue by splitting your flows in two parts:
table=0,ip,nw_src=10.0.0.0/24 actions=meter:4,resubmit:1
table=1,ip,nw_src=10.0.0.2 actions=meter:1, ...other-actions
table=1,ip,nw_src=10.0.0.3 actions=meter:2, ...other-actions
table=1,ip,nw_src=10.0.0.4 actions=meter:3, ...other-actions
Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
