[Openstack] need help understanding neutron/OVS

Ok,

This is it:

(neutron-openvswitch-agent)[root at hercules-23 /]# grep -i mtu /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/openvswitch_agent.ini
# MTU size of veth interfaces (integer value)
#veth_mtu = 9000

Thank you

Manuel

I think you are looking at the wrong file.. if you are using ovs you need to look at that… example:

[root at os-poc-controller-0 ml2]# grep -i mtu openvswitch_agent.ini
# MTU size of veth interfaces (integer value)
#veth_mtu = 9000

Yes,

This is my neutron ml2 config on the compute node

Did you change the mtu on neutron config?

My concern is about east-west bandwidth:

Inter-host and intra-subnet (vmtp Scenario 2.1): I am getting ~6.8Gbps which I found quite poor compared to 16.0 Gbps I am getting from the hosts
intra-host and intra-subnet (vmtp Scenario 1.1): In this example traffic remains inside the compute node and no tunneling is required. I am getting ~7.6Gbps which I found quite poor compared to 16.0 Gbps I am getting from the hosts

NOTE: I am not running anything except these tests on the machines so cpu usage is quite low.
NOTE2: I know vmtp uses

I would like to understand what is stopping my vms to get full network bandwidth. Is this related with an OVS configuration? ML2? Other part of neutron? Something else?

Thank you very much
