[Openstack] 99.5% of packets are disappearing somewhere between the Linux Bridge (brqxxxxzzzz-yy) and the tap (tapxxxxzzzz-yy).

Guys,

This problem that I'm facing, seems to be unrelated to OpenStack Neutron.

What I did?

Reconfigured my /etc/network/interfaces file with:

---
auto vlanXXXX
iface vlanXXXX inet manual
        vlan_raw_device eth3

auto brqvlanXXXX-aa
iface brqvlanXXXX-aa inet manual
        bridge_ports vlanXXXX
        bridge_maxwait 5
        bridge_fd 1
        bridge_stp off
---

Started a KVM VM using:

---
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:ba:46:c5'/>
      <source bridge='brqvlanXXXX-aa'/>
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
    </interface>
---

Same problem! So, OpenStack seems to have nothing to do with this problem
that I'm facing...

I'll keep investigating it...

Cheers!
Thiago
