What was an MTU in the test, how increasing it affects the results ?

Reminds me how complicated it was to generate 40Gbit/sec of http traffic (with default MTU) to test F5 Bigip appliances, luckily TCL irules had `HTTP::retry`

The MTU is 9001 within the VPC, but the packets are less than 250 bytes so the MTU doesn't really come into play.

This test is more about packets/s than bytes/s.
