Poor network performance on OpenStack GRE or VXLAN tenant network
Issue
- Network Bandwidth of OpenStack Virtual Machine is Too Slow
- My RHOS instances are too slow to communicate from outside
- Bandwidth of compute and virtual machines calculated by iperf3 tool is drastically different:
- MTU size is wrong causing packet to drop and ssh commands to hang on OpenStack instances
