This tries to generate traffic at a rate that will saturate the receiver, without overdoing it, even in the event of packet loss. It's unrealistically more aggressive than TCP (which will back off quickly in case of packet loss) but less silly than a blind test that just generates packets as fast as it can (which can cause all the CPU to be absorbed by the transmitter, giving an incorrect impression of how much capacity the total system has). Initial indications are that a syscall about every 10 packets (TCP bulk delivery) is roughly the same speed as sending every packet through a channel. A syscall per packet is about 5x-10x slower than that. The whole tailscale wireguard-go + magicsock + packet filter combination is about 4x slower again, which is better than I thought we'd do, but probably has room for improvement. Note that in "full" tailscale, there is also a tundev read/write for every packet, effectively doubling the syscall overhead per packet. Given these numbers, it seems like read/write syscalls are only 25-40% of the total CPU time used in tailscale proper, so we do have significant non-syscall optimization work to do too.
