Title:
gre_sys set to default 1472 when using path_mtu > 1500 with ovs 2.8.x
Status in neutron:
New
Status in openvswitch package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Setup:
Pike neutron 11.0.2-0ubuntu1.1~cloud0
OVS 2.8.0
Jumbo frames setttings per:
https://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/networking-guide/config-mtu.html
global_physnet_mtu = 9000
path_mtu = 9000
Symptoms:
gre_sys MTU is 1472
Instances with MTUs > 1500 fail to communicate across GRE
Temporary Workaround:
ifconfig gre_sys MTU 9000
Note: When ovs rebuilds tunnels, such as on a restart, gre_sys MTU is set
back to default 1472.
Note: downgrading from OVS 2.8.0 to 2.6.1 resolves the issue.
Previous behavior:
With Ocata or Pike and OVS 2.6.x
gre_sys MTU defaults to 65490
It remains at 65490 through restarts.
This may be related to some combination of the following changes in OVS which
seem to imply MTUs must be set in the ovs database for tunnel interfaces and
patches:
