Open Stack

We use "vif_plugging_is_fatal = False" and "vif_plugging_timeout = 0" as
well as "no-ping" in the dnsmasq-neutron.conf, and large rally tests of 500
instances complete with no issues.

These are some good blogposts about Neutron performance:
https://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-neutron-performance-and-scalability-testing-summary/
https://www.mirantis.com/blog/improving-dhcp-performance-openstack/

I would run a large rally test like this one and see where time is spent
mostly:
{
    "NovaServers.boot_and_delete_server": [
        {
            "args": {
                "flavor": {
                    "name": "c2.small"
                },
                "image": {
                    "name": "^Ubuntu 16.04 - latest$"
                },
                "force_delete": false
            },
            "runner": {
                "type": "constant",
                "times": 500,
                "concurrency": 100
            }
        }
    ]
}


Cheers,
George
