Nothing super specific I can think of but :
- Can you try running the same tests with two instances on the same compute? - How many cores are inside the sender/receiver VM? - Can you test in UDP mode?

Hi,
I am using Openstack Wallaby release with OVN on Ubuntu 20.04.
My environment consists of 2 compute nodes and 1 controller node. ovs_version: "2.15.0" Ubuntu Kernel Version: 5.4.0-77-generic
I am observing Network performance between instances on different compute nodes is slow. The network uses geneve tunnels.The environment is using 10Gbps network interface cards. However, iperf between instances on different compute nodes attains only speeds between a few hundred Mbit/s and a few Gb/s. Both instances are in the same tenant network.
Note: iperf results between both compute nodes (hypervisors) across the geneve tunnel endpoints is perfect 10 Gbps.
Below are the results of iperf commands.
