Introduce the hints port attribute that allows passing in backend
specific hints mainly to allow backend specific performance tuning.
Enable:
openstack port create --hint ALIAS=VALUE
openstack port set --hint ALIAS=VALUE
openstack port unset --hints
Required neutron extension:
port-hints
port-hint-ovs-tx-steering
Valid hint aliases and values:
ovs-tx-steering=hash
ovs-tx-steering=thread
The same hints in JSON format, as expected by the Neutron API:
{"openvswitch": {"other_config": {"tx-steering": "hash"}}}
{"openvswitch": {"other_config": {"tx-steering": "thread"}}}

Enable management of Neutron port hints: ``port create --hint HINT``,
|
|
``set port --hint HINT and ``unset port --hint``. Port hints allow
|
|
passing backend specific hints to Neutron mainly to tune backend
|
|
performance. The first hint controls Open vSwitch Tx steering.
