What is the recommended best practice?

The situation at $WORK is: OpenStack Grizzly (Havanna RSN) on Ubuntu 13.04. 
Originally running on OVS 1.9 but upgrade to 1.11 with compiled-from-source 
Debian packages. We're currently using GRE between the compute nodes and the 
network node for the current "beta", but will probably be going to VXLAN in the 
next implementation.

After the OvS upgrade it was found that SSH still worked but SCP did not, and 
this led to changing the VM/instance MTU:

        http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14187

We found that an MTU of 1454 and below worked, but 1455 and above did not.

What is the recommended  long-term best practice? Do we set the MTU lower on 
the instances (via DHCP option 26), or do we set the MTU of the compute and 
network nodes' NICs higher (e.g., 14546). Or is there a third option?

Thanks for any info.

Regards,
David
