Description of problem: The E/W routed traffic between two networks (not GW networks) cannot handle networks with different MTU sizes. The flag "ovn_emit_need_to_frag" is configured in the Neutron configuration (although this is affecting only to the GW ports). Even if the packets sent have DF (Do-Not-Fragment bit) unset, the ICMP packets are not reaching the port in the network with lower MTU. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * RHEL 9.0 * OSP17.1 * ovn-nbctl 22.12.1 * Open vSwitch Library 3.0.90 * DB Schema 7.0.0 How reproducible: See steps to reproduce. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Deploy an OpenStack environment, using any OVN (geneve, vxlan) backend type: https://rhos-ci-jenkins.lab.eng.tlv2.redhat.com/view/QE/view/OSP17.1/ 2. Create two networks and one router between them. The MTUs must be different $ openstack network create --mtu 1500 net1 $ openstack network create --mtu 1200 net2 $ openstack subnet create --network net1 --subnet-range 10.0.201.0/28 snet1 $ openstack subnet create --network net2 --subnet-range 10.0.202.0/28 snet2 $ openstack router create router1 $ openstack router add subnet router1 snet1 $ openstack router add subnet router1 snet2 3. Spawn two VMs, each one in a different network $ openstack server create --network net1 --flavor cirros --image cirros server1 $ openstack server create --network net2 --flavor cirros --image cirros server2 4. Access the VMs and ping from server1 (MTU 1500) to server2 (MTU 1200). Use the "ping -M dont" flag to unset the DF flag. Actual results: The datapath flow is received in the compute node of server2: https://paste.opendev.org/show/bVhsu1RdXnF7tquQN4Hg/. However, the TAP interface of server2 does not receive any packet. When the MTU is 1200 or lower, this TAP interface receives the ping packets; e.g.: https://paste.opendev.org/show/bdblIQENJeUp2kWio7Ac/ Expected results: OVN should fragment the traffic and sent the fragments to the 1200 TAP interface, that should be received by server2.
