features:
- By default, the DHCP agent provides a network MTU value to instances using
the corresponding DHCP option if core plugin calculates the value. For ML2
plugin, calculation mechanism is enabled by setting [ml2] path_mtu option
to a value greater than zero.
upgrade:
- To disable, use [DEFAULT] advertise_mtu = False.
other:
- For overlay networks managed by ML2 core plugin, the calculation algorithm
subtracts the overlay protocol overhead from the value of [ml2] path_mtu.
The DHCP agent provides the resulting (smaller) MTU to instances using
overlay networks.
- The [DEFAULT] advertise_mtu option must contain a consistent value on all
hosts running the DHCP agent.
- Typical networks can use [ml2] path_mtu = 1500.
