Cheers Sean

I will take a look at the wiki and update accordingly. I took a look at your BP, its right along the lines of what I feel is also needed and what we are planning to submit (being finalised as I write this email) though we are also adding some additional QoS attributes to be supported based on OVS as one source.  I took a look at your API and the BP we are going to submit is very much inline and complementary to yours hence why I think we can actually combine them and do a joint pitch on this....at least that’s my thinking on it!

Will send BP as soon as its finalised ;-)

BR
Alan

Hi Alan,

That sounds great - the objective of my BP was to try and make a QoS API extension that was flexible enough that everyone could make their own implementation. At this point, this is accomplished through storing key/value pairs that are linked back to a QoS object, via the policies attribute (which maps to the qos_policies table), that stores implementation specific behavior/configuration.

There is also a wiki page, that has some useful links:
