Hi,
we're currently using wg as point-to-point transport between thousands of vms.
each peer has a separate interface so we can do BGP with bird.
this works extremely well. But due to lack of port-reuse, eventually
you run out of udp ports.
Now i'm thinking of redesigning it with a single wg interface and
using wgs native destination selection which is based on allow-list.
that means every topology change results in a netlink call to wg to
replace all affected peers with a new peer with a new allowed-list.
In a quick test i couldn't see any problems with that. But i'm
worried that might change with scale. Replacing a peer config might
flush its buffer, possibly resulting in packet loss. Or more likely
reset its crypto session, resulting in a latency spike until the
handshake finished.
anyone has more insight into that?
