I also run bonded 2x1Gb interfaces into a Cisco switch (so 802.3ad), it 
often has 600+mbps going through it (TCP), runs about 12 VLANs, spikes 
over 700mbit sometimes. Mix of TCP/UDP traffic, up to 200kpps on spikes. 
Haven't seem to hit any limit yet. CPU overall sits 5-10%, but there is 
always at least 1 core spiking up 80-100% by itself.

Also use one of the 10gbit ports for megaport, but its lucky to spike 
200mbit on a good day.
