Bug Description
We are going to implement packet rate limit on ovs bridge by using meter rules [1], at the same time, meter can also be used to limit the bandwidth. os-key(ryu) supports the rule types of OFPMF_KBPS [2]. And usually, some smart-NICs for ovs offloading will support offloading meter rule to NIC to save the QoS cost of CPU on hosts naturally.
Since TC rules can be offloaded to smart-NIC as well. So this is an alternative to make the implementation of QoS limitation in a consistent mechanism.

This sounds a kind of RFE. Adding rfe tag for discussion.
