Thanks! But those examples are for same MTU for client and server. If we have Client: 1500 router in the middle 1500 OVS/GRE: 1458 server: 1458 For tcp this is ok. But can it hurt somehow other protocols? UDP, RST, etc? On 03/14/2015 08:52 PM, Joseph Bajin wrote: The size of MTU only really ma

The size of MTU only really matters for the server and client. The between connections need to be larger than the packets that are being sent. Scenario 1: Server - 1400 MTU Client - 1400 MTU Switches - 9216 MTU OVS - 1500 MTU Result: Successful - Traffic passes without any issue Scenario 2:

Hello. We've hit badly changes in behaviour of OVS when we switched from 3.08 to 3.13 kernel. When runs on 3.11 or above, OVS starts to use kernel GRE services. And they copy DNF (do not fragment) flag from encapsulated packet to GRE packet. And this mess up all things, because ICMP messages
