Public bug reported:

When vxlan is configured:

$ ps aux | grep linuxbridge
vagrant  21051  3.2 28.9 504764 433644 pts/3   S+   09:08   0:02 python /usr/local/bin/neutron-linuxbridge-agent --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf --config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini


A list with over 16 million numbers is created here:

 for segmentation_id in range(1, constants.MAX_VXLAN_VNI + 1):

and does not seem to be garbage collected for some reason.

Using xrange instead:

$ ps -aux | grep linuxb
vagrant   7397  0.1  0.9 106412 33236 pts/10   S+   09:19   0:05 python /usr/local/bin/neutron-linuxbridge-agent --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf --config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
