Mesh Benchmark
The Mesh Benchmark represents the maximum amount of mesh-based traffic a device can send or receive. This is the speed limit of node to node traffic that doesn't leave the mesh. Services hosted in a way such that they are accessible on the mesh are mainly subject to this limit.
Procedure
To test the in-mesh speed, run iperf3 and yggdrasil on both a decently powerful PC/laptop as well as a mesh node.
On the PC, run the following command:
iperf3 -s
Then use yggdrasilctl getself and note the IPv6 address.
On the mesh node, run the following command to start the benchmark:
iperf3 -c <PC-ipv6-address>

| Device | Download | Upload | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| example | 55 Mbit/s | 30 Mbit/s | Maxes out cpu |
| example | 53 Mbit/s | 47 Mbit/s | Low resource usage |
Gateway Benchmark
Todo: Create standard test procedure with more powerful hardware
Environment: Laptop, Rpi4, DO Droplet, mullvad
Fully wired, rpi connected via autoygg to droplet, which routes traffic out through mullvad
