      Description of problem:

      When Jumbo Frames are set for infra, POD to POD in virtual OCP cluster has degraded network performance.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      4.16+

      How reproducible:
      Multiple cases able to reproduce

      Steps to Reproduce:
      Create baremetal cluster ocpv cluster with ocp cluster running in vms.

      9000 - OCP-V bare-metal hosts
      8900 - OCP-V cluster pod network
      8900 - VM interface
      8800 - virtual cluster pod network

      Actual results: Using k8s-netperf

      • Pod to Pod 52.535384 (Mb/s) // 8192 message size 45.809499 (Mb/s)
      • VM to VM 2414.267904 (Mb/s) // 8192 message size 8152.709632 (Mb/s)

      Expected results: Similar speeds for pod to pod

      Additional info:

      Degraded network performance between pods on different nodes on different OCP-Virt hypervisors running on same virtual cluster pod network. Seen when using jumbo frames.

      ```
      9000 - OCP-V bare-metal hosts OCP-V bare-metal hosts

       

      v
      8900 - OCP-V cluster pod network |

      /
      v /
      8900 - VM interface VM
       

      v v
      8800 - virtual cluster pod <--- Degraded Perf---> pod
      ```

      Disabling offloading for UDP checksums has no effect.
      Also other offloading disabled or enabled has no effect
