Hi Manish,

Do you have a number of just how big a subnet size is when it starts to
have negative impact on the performance of the subnet?

How would you benchmark network performance? Booting many VMs with
significant network load is not possible since I don't have enough
hardware. Is there a way to simulate and investigate the issue?
