* Only [certain AWS EC2 instance types](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/network_mtu.html#jumbo_frame_instances) allow jumbo frames. This is why the default MTU on AWS must be 1480.
* Between Flannel and Calico, performance differences are usually minimal. Platform and configuration differenes dominate.
* Pods do not seem to be able to leverage the hosts' bonded NIC setup. Possibly a testing artifact.

+* Observing the same bonded NIC pod-to-pod limit suggests the bottleneck lies below flannel and calico.
