Hi,

I’m looking into how this is possible

http://opencontrail.org/evaluating-opencontrail-virtual-router-performance/

achieving 10G line rate between two VMs on different hypervisors over a tunnel 
using MTU 1500 in the VMs.

I see (at least) two possible issues with my setup:

- Packets egressing openvswitch over a gre tunnel is segmented to 1500 bytes. 
If I configure mtu 9000 in the VM, the packets are segmented to 9000 bytes on 
the gre tunnel - in any case tcpdump in the sending VM shows packet sizes of 
62636 bytes - strange ?
- I’m having doubts about the pps performance of virtio and Xens 
netback/netfront - Anybody experienced significant difference between these? or 
even tried the dpdk drivers ?

I’m using debian with kernel 3.12.13 and openvswitch 2.1

Thanks

Regards
Kristoffer
