Calico looks good. As far as we understand calico works the same way as flannel/host-gw does, i.e. creates a route for all subnets in the cluster. Of course, calico is more advanced technology than flannel/host-gw, but the reason why we haven't tested it is following: they're different in control path but the same in data path. Our original intention was to test underlying linux-kernel mechanisms and understood how much we lose in terms of latency and throughput.

For small configurations flannel/host-gw is OK, I guess, but if one have several kubernetes clusters, flannel/host-gw becomes harder to maintain. That's a place where calico should be useful.
