Hi Thiago,

you have configured DHCP to push out a MTU of 1400. Can you confirm that the 
1400 MTU is actually getting out to the instances by running 'ip link' on them?

There is an open problem where the veth used to connect the OVS and Linux 
bridges causes a performance drop on some kernels - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova-project/+bug/1223267 .  If you are using the 
LibvirtHybridOVSBridgeDriver VIF driver, can you try changing to 
LibvirtOpenVswitchDriver and repeat the iperf test between instances on 
different compute-nodes.

What NICs (maker+model) are you using? You could try disabling any off-load 
functionality - 'ethtool -k <iface-used-for-gre>'.

What kernal are you using: 'uname -a'?
