Nice findings Han! Looking back at the patch that Numan sent I answered this to the report:
"Yes, thanks Numan for the patch :) Another option would be that ovn-controller sets explicitly the MTU to 1450. Not sure which of the two is the best or would have less side effects. Cheers, Daniel " Would that be an option? We'd be closing the loop around OVN but maybe we still need it fixed wider at OVS level. Thoughts?
