Managing meters

Meters enable OpenFlow to implement various simple QoS operations, such as rate-limiting. A meter

table consists of meter entries. An OpenFlow switch can have only one meter table.

Figure 25

shows the

components of a meter entry.

, see version 1.3.1 of the

Open Networking Foundation "OpenFlow Switch Specification" located at:

flow/openflow-spec-v1.3.1.pdf

Each meter includes one or more bands. Only a single band is used at a time. Each band specifies the
rate at which the band applies and the way packets should be processed. If the current rate of packets

exceeds the rate of multiple bands, the band with the highest configured rate is used.
The meter management module of SDNM is used to view, query, add, modify, and delete meters, which

helps create traffic control rules.
