[ovs-discuss] Query regarding STT and TSO.

[Bhaskar Reddy R]

Hi All,

Since the STT tunneling can take advantage of the NIC TSO capabilities
and transfer upto 64KB of data, i have been wondering how will it get
such huge amount of data in the
first place.

Let me know if the following methods can be used.

1) Change the MTU to 64000 in the virtual machines. So that the
packets will not be fragmented. OVS can then do the tunnel processing.

2)  Enable GSO/GRO in the VMs. Is this is a possiblity ? If so, is
this recommended ?

Please comment.

Regards,
Bhaskar
