Compute node.

Bug description:
I use DevStack to deploy OpenStack with Linux Bridge instead of OVS in
a multi-node set up.
I¹m testing jumbo frames and want to set MTU to 9000.
At the Network node, the bridges and tap interfaces are created with
MTU = 9000:

As a result, jumbo frames are fragmented coming out from the Compute node.
