<div dir="ltr">Ian,<div><br></div><div>Overthinking and corner cases led to the existing implementation which doesn't solve the MTU problem and arguably makes the situation worse because options in the configuration files give operators the impression they can control it. For example, the segment_mtu does nothing in the in-tree drivers, the network_device_mtu option only impacts parts of some in-tree drivers, and path_mtu only provides a way to change the MTU for VMs for all in-tree drivers. I ran my experiments without any of these options to provide a clean slate for empirically analyzing the problem and finding a solution for the majority of operators.</div><div><br></div><div>Matt</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 6:31 AM, Sean M.

</span>Here's the DevStack change that implements this.<br>

Again this just fixes it for DevStack. Deployers still need to set the<br>
MTUs by hand in their deployment tool of choice. I would hope that we<br>
can still move forward with some sort of automatic discovery - and also<br>
figure out a way to take it from 3 different config knobs down to like<br>
one master knob, for the sake of sanity.<br>
