There's a good description here of what they're doing: https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2021-August/0068...

I am curious (though happy) about their focus on performance. For most security projects, the specification seems to be 'sufficient' performance and beyond that they invest their limited resources elsewhere. The WireGuard team seems to make it a top priority.

Maybe this upgrade was needed to be 'sufficient'? Maybe they see performance as key to adoption? Or maybe they have other reasons. I could see how WireGuard's significant reduction in complexity, compared to other VPN software, could feed performance.

It's hard to imagine the Internet without WireGuard, without a VPN I have confidence in. Thank you Jason and team!
