Actually all you need is two nics, so each node can use 2 nics for the 
other two nodes.


I actually have three nics per node, currently two bonded with 
balance-alb per node and I do indeed max out a 1G connection with Jumbo 
frames. A VM tops out at 120MB/s in seq writes.

I did experiment with 3 nics bonded with balance-rr and managed to get 
2.4Gbs throughput, balance-rr doesn't do to well with bonds bigger than 2.

Unfortunately I need a private IP for gluster and a bridge for the VM's 
and I could only get OpenVSwitch to bond three nics to a bridge and a 
extra IP and OVS doesn't support balance-alb.
