Since this is becoming an OSS product/project, open 'sudo' in the distro on next update.

I have two ZT Edge units running on remote LANs in a layer 2 bridged setup, with the same subnet scheme applied to the LAN at each site. Site A's WAN connection is 940Mbps down / 880Mbps up, and Site B's is 370Mbps down / 330 Mbps up. Both ZTe devices are hardwired to their respective routers via gigabit ethernet over Cat6e cable.

Using iperf3, I'm getting an average transfer speed of ~20Mbps between the two units. Is this in line with internal tests by ZeroTier? I understand that the encryption has some CPU performance overhead, but I was expecting to see better performance than this given that my limiting WAN speed on the slowest connection is 330Mbps (upload from Site B). Even this most limited speed is almost 20x faster than what I'm getting via the bridged ZTe link.
