Running Wireguard on a switch

Hi,

Nowadays, manageable switches often run Linux.  Ben Cox managed to run
wireguard on such a switch from Dell: https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/dell-switch-hacking

He's not talking about performance (that was not the goal): the CPU on
this switch looks like a low-end ARM so it's probably not that good, but
it's still fun :)

Cisco datacenter switches like the Nexus n3k have a x86 CPU and run
CentOS, so I wonder if somebody already tried Wireguard on those?
