Title:
  Neutron LBAAS agent ignores MTU settings used by subnets

Status in neutron:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The network interfaces in qlbaas namespaces always use 1500 as their
  default MTU setting. This may cause trouble when communicating with
  instances that have different MTU set (usually through dhcp options
  using /etc/neutron/dnsmasq-neutron.conf). Different MTU values may
  break communications between instances and load balancers and lead to
  weird behaviours, such as some web pages timing out waiting for a
  reply while others work.

   Manually setting an lbaas namespace to the same value as the instance
  corrects any communication problems between balancer and instance.

  Neutron should use options from their subnet or at least provide a way
  to manually set the load balancer's MTU.

  For reference, here is the output of a lbaas namespace settings
  showing MTU 1500:

  # ip netns exec qlbaas-a38fc742-9c0b-4503-a0b9-64d5a6adfe77 ip a
