[Openstack] IceHouse Neutron L3 - Connectivity issue

We ran into an issue (change of default behavior) with GRE/VxLAN tunnel
fragmentation when we moved to the 3.13 kernel.  One workaround for this
issue is to set "options:df_default=false" on the ovs tunnels, see [1].
Fragmenting those packets is not ideal, but it would be interesting to
see if this is the problem you’re running into.

Apparently we're all facing the same issue. The fact is, Neutron is too much complex...

Back with Havana, we faced this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1252900

But now, with Ubuntu 14.04 + IceHouse, seems to be a different problem.

"Neutron + GRE or VXLAN", is very hard to stabilize and doesn't scale very well...

I'm seeing that it works better with "VLAN / Flat Networks" (i.e. without using the Neutron Network Node as Instance's default gateway). I'll try it instead...

Maybe James Denton, from Rackspace, might help us again!     :-P

Best!

I managed to login into a Ubuntu Instance via `SPICE Console` and there is more network outages from within it, take a look ("apt-get update" froze too):

Am I missing something?!

Hey Stackers!

I'm facing a weird network issue here, with IceHouse and Neutron L3... Using "Per-Project Router with Private Networks"...

I am unable to connect via SSH into an Instance, from its own "Project Namespace Router", look:

--
root at net-controller-1:~# ip netns exec qrouter-c252886a-1fd0-45dd-9e3b-4233786e7960 ssh -i ~/pem ubuntu at 192.168.1.17<mailto:ubuntu at 192.168.1.17> -v

...
...ssh stucked!!!
...

The SSH connection froze at "debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent" and it never establishes...

From its attached `Floating IP`, the symptom is the same, I can't connect via SSH into a Instance, I tried it with 12.04 and 14.04, same result for both...

The Instance looks good from SPICE Consoles (but I need to login with "ubuntu user" via network first, using ssh key).

-

I'm running tcpdump on both "qr-$INT" and at the Compute Node DATA NETWORK, to see the GREv0 traffic too, here it is:

--
root at net-controller-1:~# ip netns exec qrouter-c252886a-1fd0-45dd-9e3b-4233786e7960 tcpdump -v -ni qr-eeb0d2f3-42

http://paste.openstack.org/show/80969/

NOTE: From the line ~16 to 32, SSH was already frozen...
--

root at compute-node-1:~# tcpdump -ni eth1 | grep -v IP6

http://paste.openstack.org/show/80970/
--

What can I do to deep investigate this?!

I double checked everything, including OVS bridges, sysctl.conf, `ethtool --offload ethX gro off` and etc... Don't know what's is wrong...

I think that this is the last problem I'm facing with IceHouse, I would like to put it into prod but, I am unable to do it right now...   :-/

Tks in advance!

Best,
Thiago
