openstack ovs-gre 网速慢解决方案

Hint: if you want to check if this answer will solve your issue, execute ifconfig eth0 mtu 1400 on the instance and check the speed.

Edit the file: /etc/quantum/dhcp_agent.ini and set:

dnsmasq_config_file=/etc/neutron/dnsmasq-neutron.conf

Create and edit file /etc/neutron/dnsmasq-neutron.conf and put this inside:

dhcp-option-force=26,1400

Restart DHCP:

service neutron-dhcp-agent restart

And reboot your instance. Verify that your MTU is 1400:

root@web:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr fa:16:3e:f0:6a:9f
inet addr:10.1.0.2 Bcast:10.1.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::f816:3eff:fef0:6a9f/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICASTMTU:1400 Metric:1 RX packets:934855 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:207741 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1210256390 (1.2 GB) TX bytes:226172592 (226.1 MB)

Test upload speed again. It should be back to normal.

亲测可行。

MTU&GRE

新的数据报头长度为20字节，GRE最小封闭字节为4字节，1500-20-4=1476，而我们的实例默认是1480，必然每个包都自动分片，导致性能下降。
