Making Tailscale Faster

Tailscale, a networking company, has made significant improvements to its software to boost performance. They have optimized their protocol to reduce latency and improve throughput. Specifically, they have increased the packet transmission rate from 10,000 packets per second to 100,000 packets per second on a single CPU core. This improvement is the result of a change to their protocol's packet handling, which now processes packets in parallel. Additionally, the company has also improved their NAT traversal, reducing the number of packets required to establish a connection. These changes are expected to enhance the user experience for remote workers and teams relying on Tailscale.
