Title:
  OVN vlan networks use geneve tunneling for SNAT traffic

Status in networking-ovn:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In OVN driver, traffic from vlan (or any other) tenant network to
  external network uses a geneve tunnel between the compute node and the
  gateway node. So MTU for the VLAN networks needs to account for geneve
  tunnel overhead.

  This doc [1] explains about OVN vlan networks and current issue and future enhancements.
  There is ovs-discuss mailing list thread [2] discussing the surprising geneve tunnel usage.
