Hi,

I recently tried to install Openstack with one controller/network node and 5 
compute nodes. I tried to use GRE for neutron network mode. I finished the 
installation successfully but the network performance was terribly slow. This 
was partly due to the fact that I was using a low performance switch.

What I inferred was while using the GRE mode the switch's port were constantly 
blinking indicating heavy traffic. I am aware that in GRE mode there is a mesh 
of tunnels between the various nodes. I assumed that the GRE mode was placing a 
burden too heavy on the switch and tore down the setup and created a vlan setup 
instead. The performance was good with vlan.

Is this expected or I had been doing something wrong?
