Hi,

I am using openstack victoria and neutron with ovn latest releases. I was
trying to assess network performance between the vms first. I have created
two ubuntu 20.04 VMs installed iperf3 in them and executed a bidirectional
test between VMs. The instance are on same network and network type is
geneve. Both VMs are on same host. I have tested by keeping VM to different
compute hosts, but results are same.

Here are the results.

Here is the xmldump of instance interface.

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:02:bc:33'/>
      <source bridge='br-int'/>
      <virtualport type='openvswitch'>
        <parameters interfaceid='73e9f047-70de-4d9f-a656-e311dd54975f'/>
      </virtualport>
      <target dev='tap73e9f047-70'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <driver name='vhost' queues='8'/>
      <mtu size='1442'/>
      <alias name='net0'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

My overlay network IP interface mtu is 1500. Please advise if there is any
network performance tuning required ?
