We are running with  > 400.000.000 objects  across 11 object storage nodes.
Total network traffic on any of those nodes is less then 10 MByte /second

However we have seen slowdowns with lots of small files and really big disks.
The issue is not related to the network but the local filesystem/disk.
When the inode cache gets insufficient you can see terrible slow-downs.
There have been a few threads about that in this list, having a lot of memory usually helps a bit.
