Title:
[RFE] QoS Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) Support
Status in neutron:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
[Existing problem]
Network congestion can be very common in large data centers generating huge
traffic from multiple hosts. Though each hosts can use IP header TOS ECN bit
functionality to implement explicit congestion notification [1]_ but this will
be a redundant effort.
[Proposal]
This proposal talks about achieving ECN on behalf of each host. This will
help in making the solution centralized and can be done per tenant level. In
addition to this traffic classification for applying ECN functionality can also
be achieved via specific filtering rules, if required. Almost all the leading
vendors support this option for better QoS [2]_.
Existing QoS framework is limited only to bandwidth rate limiting and
be extend for supporting explicit congestion notification (RFC 3168
[3]_).
[Benefits]
- Enhancement to the existing QoS functionality.
[What is the enhancement?]
- Add ECN support to the QoS extension.
- Add additional command lines for realizing ECN functionality.
- Add OVS support.
