I'm trying to configure SDN QinQ in my Proxomx cluster and I am wondering is my configuration correct and is there anything I can do to increase performance.
My goal is to have VMs and containers on a default 1500 MTU so I did the following:
I have eno1 & eno2 bonded (LACP (802.3ad)) to bond0 and have created a linux bridge using bond0. I have set MTU on eno1, eno2 & bond0 to 1508. All other MTUs remained at default 1500 or auto. I created a QinQ zone:
and then a test VNet:
Next, I created two containers, and ran iperf3 test and the results are:
Which is a lot less than a 10G link I have.
I also manually created nested VLANs by creating a vlan on top of bond0 on the host, then created a VLAN aware bridge on top of that and then set container network interface to use that bridge with an additional VLAN tag. After running iperf again it showed the same speed. If I remove VLAN tag on the container and that there is only one VLAN tag in the packate the speed I get are around 9Gbits/sec. What could be the issue here?
I use Mikrotik switch with RouterOS. I've increased L2MTU as well as MTU on all the ports and bonds. Could this be a wrong Mikrotik configuration?
