      Description of problem:

      SDN: OVN-kubernetes

      Network performance drops in 4.12 compared to 4.10 when the window size set to 64kb. If iperf test is done with in the same node, the values are similar in 4.10 and 4.12:

      But if the tests are done with different nodes, the performance drops significantly:
