Description Madhur Gupta 2018-02-22 12:38:34 UTC
RFE to add support for below in OpenStack:

Add support for configuring the `rx_queue_size` and `tx_queue_size` options in the virtio-net driver by way of flavor extra specs.

Blueprint of OpenStack Nova for this RFE:

I think it's duplicate of bug 1512941, no?

Comment 3 Madhur Gupta 2018-02-22 15:05:24 UTC
Hey thanks for pointing out. I went through the description of bug 1512941.

Yes I had the same intention when I opened this RFE for customer, is to be able to tune these parameters(RX/TX queue size) through OpenStack as well.

Comment 5 Sahid Ferdjaoui 2018-02-23 16:18:33 UTC
Ok so let's consider it open since it's to address a different version. We can still reconsider whether we could backport the feature for OSP10 when merged on master.

Comment 6 Chris Fields 2018-10-31 14:23:33 UTC
I read through bz 1512941. I can't tell if the intention is still to make 
 `rx_queue_size` and `tx_queue_size` options in the virtio-net driver configurable in the OSP flavor?  I'm workinkg with GSS engineers who have a customer asking about this for OSP 10.  

Thanks

Sorry for the delay. This got lost in Bugzilla noise. I'm not sure if you got your answer to this already, but tl;dr: this has been implemented via a nova.conf option. As such, it is not configurable via the flavour.
