<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>This feels like a bad idea to me - switching to a dedicated protocol would remove a small amount of overhead, but comes with a lot of downsides, which in my opinion outweighs the minor benefit of removing some of the overhead.</div><div><br></div>I have a strong preference for the continued use of UDP, because a large amount of consumer networking gear can't handle destination NAT for anything that isn't UDP or TCP.

<br>
Today i discovered that OVH is limiting UDP rate to 6Mbit/s, i did a test by encapsulating wireguard in an ip/ip tunnel<br>
and got 90Mbit/S.<br>
<br>
Is there a way to make wireguard evolve to use it's own protocol number.<br>
<br>
That would prevent the overhead of wireguard over ipip/gre/vxlan ...<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Regards,<br>
Eric<br>
