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.

Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
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.
Other Tailscale repos of note:
- the Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
- the Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
- the QNAP package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg
- the Chocolatey packaging is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-chocolatey
For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.
Other clients
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:
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
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.
We require Developer Certificate of
Origin
Signed-off-by
lines in commits.
See git log
for our commit message style. It's basically the same as
Go's style.
