Hi Alex, We are asked to set MTU 1400. I don't really know the particular vendor behind the SDWAN solution. I will ask.
I see your point. I will run some analysis and let you know what I see. The thing is that in the past we run OpenNebula in this environment, we managed to ignore the requirement successfully for some time until we realized that networking issues required the setting. I have reviewed my notes and I can only find a commit on some scripts stating its need and setting it. (a workaround similar to yours, to patch the VRs). But now I don't remember exactly which use case triggered the networking issues. Would be very nice to have an issue to reproduce. I will look into this a bit more and get back to you. Regards, Rafael OK I will let you know how it goes. On Wed, 2021-03-24 11:08 AM, Alex Mattioli <alex.matti...@shapeblue.com> wrote: > Hi Raf, > > Can you share with us which SDWAN vendor it is?
