Different VMs can use different gateways, so if there are many VMs, the gateway cannot be a bottleneck. Our goal is not to provide the combined bandwidth of many disks to one VM, but rather to achieve scalability; Sheepdog provides enough bandwidth to each VM even if many VMs use Sheepdog at the same time.
