I'm refactoring my question once again (see "A Grizzly arping failure" and "Failure to arp by quantum router").
Quickly, the problem is in a multi-node Grizzly+Raring setup with a separate network node and a dedicated VLAN for VM traffic. External connections time out within a minute and dont' resume until traffic is initiated from the VM. I got some rather annoying and hostile assistance just now on IRC and while it didn't result in a fix, it got me to realize that the problem is possibly with my GRE setup. I made a mistake when I originally set this up, assigning the mgmt interface of the network node (192.168.241.99) as its GRE remote_ip instead if the vm_config network interface (192.168.239.99). I realized my mistake and reconfigured the OVS plugin on the network node and moved one. But now, taking a look at my OVS bridges on the network node, I see that the old remote IP is still there! Bridge br-tun <snip> Port "gre-1" Interface "gre-1" type: gre options: {in_key=flow, out_key=flow, remote_ip="192.168.241.99"} <snip> This is also on all the compute nodes. ( Full ovs-vsctl show output here: http://pastebin.com/xbre1fNV) What's more, I have this error every time I restart OVS: 2013-05-10 18:21:24 ERROR [quantum.agent.linux.ovs_lib] Unable to execute ['ovs-vsctl', '--timeout=2', 'add-port', 'br-tun', 'gre-5']. Exception: Command: ['sudo', 'quantum-rootwrap', '/etc/quantum/rootwrap.conf', 'ovs-vsctl', '--timeout=2', 'add-port', 'br-tun', 'gre-5'] Exit code: 1 Stdout: '' Stderr: 'ovs-vsctl: cannot create a port named gre-5 because a port named gre-5 already exists on bridge br-tun\n' Could that be because grep-1 is vestigial and possibly fouling up the works by creating two possible paths for VM traffic? Is it as simple as removing it with ovs-vsctl or is something else required? Or is this actually needed for some reason?
