Interesting. Could it be a firmware issue? To summarize my current situation, I cannot get the network work with tx on so I need to disable tx. Using iproute2, tunnels with MTU 8976 works OK (getting 9.7Gbit/s in a single flow). When MTU is decreased to 1500, I can only get 3-4Gbit/s. Being unable to use tx offloading is strange. > Is there anything else which is worth mentioning in your setup? For iproute2, I don't have anything special. I just create a tunnel bridge and test it. For OVS part, I have openstack installation using neutron openvswitch plugin, which is irrelevant for now. Openvswitch kernel module is loaded but does it have an effect on iproute2? Please inform me if you need anything else. Just to inform other people having the same issue, by increasing the MTU of OVS bridges (br-int, tap, qvo, qbr, etc.) to 8950, setting br-tun ovs bridge to 8976, and instructing VMs to use 8950 MTU, I can now get 7.5Gbit from VM-to-network node using GRE tunnel in a single flow, and 9.5Gbit using 2 flows. I should add that I needed to enable MQ in libvirt.xml (using 4 queues). > Thanks, > Yuval Regards, Eren -- System Administrator https://skyatlas.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
