Openvswitch create queue can't reach bit rate limitation

Question

all: I'm new to SDN and also new to stackoverflow.

Here is my topology: When I setting the queue for mytopo, I notice that when the maximum bit lower than 300000, the iperf value become strange. Cant't reach the maximum bit rate setting.

let max-rate= ppp setting order:

ovs-vsctl -- set Port s1-eth1 qos=@newqos -- \
--id=@newqos create QoS type=linux-htb other-config:max-rate=1000000 queues=0=@q0 -- \
--id=@q0 create Queue other-config:min-rate= ppp other-config:max-rate= ppp 

Test ppp = 1000000,800000,600000,400000,300000,250000,200000.

Are there something wrong? or it's ovs's limitation? ovs-vswitchd --version ovs-vswitchd (Open vSwitch) 2.0.2 Compiled Dec 9 2015 14:08:11 OpenFlow versions 0x1:0x1

I miss take the queue usage: in the doc mentions that :

The port s1-eth1 is the switch port linked to h3. Running iperf with h3 server, h4 client: h4 → h3 (client to server) throttled to 4Mbit/s h3 → h4 (server to client) not throttled

I was miss-leading by the mininnet: iperf h1 h2.(although I don't know what does the number means).
