I understand that old MTU's won't change, but new overlays are gettign<br>
created with 1458 MTU despite the configs I thnk should tell it the<br>
jumbo underlay size, so I'm probably missing something :)<br>
<br>
I did discover since neutron is now MTU aware I can simply drop the<br>
dhcp-option=26,9000 and (after poking the DB for the existing jumbo<br>
networks which had 'Null' MTUs) the old stuff and new stuff work just<br>
new stuff has overly restrictive MTU.<br>

:This was changed in Newton (<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/336805/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://review.openstack.org/<wbr>#/c/336805/</a>) but<br>
<span class="">:we couldn't back-port it because of the behavior change.<br>

</span>Neat I didn't know support form changing MTU was even planned, but I<br>
