Description Brent Eagles 2015-11-25 14:20:12 UTC

Description of problem:

Several backportable improvements have been made to neutron in the Liberty cycle that remove extra overhead during normal operation.

As this is an intrinsic performance issue, it is in a sense 100% reproducible. However, there is no direct mechanism of quantifying the problem without invasive instrumentation of the code. Steps to reproduce might look like:

1. Configure a reasonable yet large number of routers
2. Monitor CPU usage of neutron server and responsiveness of operations

The actual results might be that the neutron server spikes to a sustained 100% CPU usage and loses responsiveness, while the expected result is that it fluctuates according to user activity and the agent update cycle.
