Bug Description

VM’s were failing to get their cloud-init data about 30% of the time. Digging into this more, it appeared to be caused by packet drops/timeouts.

The w/a is to adjust the dhcp-agent to set the VM’s with a MTU of 1454 (Option 26).
Ideally, Fuel should enable Jumbo frames for storage and we should look at optimal settings for the management networks and underlay network including OVS.

Jumbo frames would be nice on all networks. This will reslove the packet fragmentation issues on running instances caused by gre tunnels over 1500 mtu links with their own 1500 mtu.

Guys, this one is simple. On GRE networks we have to set the guest MTU to account for the overhead of the tunnel. Similar changes would need to be supported for other encapsulation protocols when we come to support them.

the guest MTU must be set to the physical interface MTU - Encapsulation overhead.
