Hi Erich,

did you recreate the neutron networks after the configuration changes?

Subject: [Rdo-list] Jumbo MTU to instances in Kilo?

Hi Y'all,

I know someone must have figured this one out, but I can't seem to get 
9000 byte MTUs working.  I have it set in plugin.ini, etc, my nodes have 
MTU=9000 on their interfaces, so does the network node.  dnsmasq also is 
configured to set MTU=9000 on instances, which works.  But I still can't 
ping with large packets to my instance:

[weiler at stacker ~]$ ping 10.50.100.2
PING 10.50.100.2 (10.50.100.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.50.100.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=2.95 ms
64 bytes from 10.50.100.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=1.14 ms
64 bytes from 10.50.100.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=0.661 ms

That works fine.  This however doesn't work:

[root at stacker ~]# ping -M do -s 8000 10.50.100.2
PING 10.50.100.2 (10.50.100.2) 8000(8028) bytes of data.
 From 10.50.100.2 icmp_seq=1 Frag needed and DF set (mtu = 1500)
ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=1500
ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=1500
ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=1500
ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=1500

It looks like somehow the br-int interface for OVS isn't set at 9000, 
but I can't figure out how to do that...

Here's ifconfig on my compute node:

This is on RHEL 7.1.  Any obvious way I can get all the intermediate 
bridges to MTU=9000?  I've RTFM'd and googled to no avail...

Here's the ovs-vsctl outout:

[root at node-136 ~]# ovs-vsctl show
6f5a5f00-59e2-4420-aeaf-7ad464ead232

         Port br-int
             Interface br-int
                 type: internal
         Port "qvo247da3ed-a4"
             tag: 1

                 options: {peer="int-br-enp3s0f0"}
     ovs_version: "2.3.1"

Many thanks if anyone has any information on this topic!  Or can point 
me to some documentation I missed...

Thanks,
erich
