Open Stack

Hi,
We used to have similar issues with GRE and packet loss/latency in Grizzly. It was caused by wrong (low) MTU size settings on ‘GRE interfaces’. I believe 1546 is the lowest working value (it is part of the official docu these days, it was not back then) Ever since we moved to jumbo frames, all the troubles are gone.
Cheers,
Marek

Did you found the same problem when using Grizzly version?

I wasn't using ml2. I did a havana with neutron-openvswitch-agent. the old way. Its not only the latency. When I created external network and assigned floatingip and tried to reach it only one or two packets where reaching. it was 99% packet loss.

i've observed the same behavior, gre adds more latency than vlan

were you creating new VMs? ml2 pop layer plugin should help in that case
