Yes most solutions are using Linux kernel, so what's being measured is indeed the impact of the way the kernel is being configured to achieve container networking. But that doesn't make those design choices, and the tests, meaningful. Calico, for example, contrary to your assumption, uses neither a Linux bridge device nor iptables for packet forwarding. (It does use iptables for policy enforcement, but that's not being tested here.)

I'm aware it doesn't use iptables, except to implement network policies, hence the reference. Good call about the bridge usage, my bad, makes sense that's not being used given Calico is L3...
