Hi,

I use DevStack to deploy OpenStack with Linux Bridge instead of OVS in a multi-node set up.

I’m testing jumbo frames and want to set MTU to 9000.

At the Network node, the bridges and tap interfaces are created with MTU = 9000:

localadmin@qa4:~/devstack$ brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces brq09047ecb-1c 8000.7c69f62c4f2f no eth1 tapedbcd5b1-a6 brq319688ab-93 8000.3234d6ee3a18 no bond0.300 tap4e230a86-cb tapfddaf12e-85 virbr0 8000.000000000000 yes

The instance launched at the Compute node has interface eth0 MTU = 9000:
