This commit implements TCP GRO for packets being written to gVisor on
Linux. Windows support will follow later. The wireguard-go dependency is
updated in order to make use of newly exported IP checksum functions.
gVisor is updated in order to make use of newly exported
stack.PacketBuffer GRO logic.
TCP throughput towards gVisor, i.e. TUN write direction, is dramatically
improved as a result of this commit. Benchmarks show substantial
improvement, sometimes as high as 2x. High bandwidth-delay product
paths remain receive window limited, bottlenecked by gVisor's default
TCP receive socket buffer size. This will be addressed in a follow-on
commit.
The iperf3 results below demonstrate the effect of this commit between
two Linux computers with i5-12400 CPUs. There is roughly ~13us of round
trip latency between them.
The first result is from commit 57856fc without TCP GRO.

This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code.
Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and
the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows,
macOS, and to varying degrees
on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's
code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.
The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients
use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI
wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves
not open source.
Building
We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.22. (While we build
releases with our Go fork, its use is not
required.)
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on
the issue tracker.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference
bugs.
