If I have 2 nodes in the same data
# netmaker
r
If I have 2 nodes in the same data center can I have those two nodes use netmaker over the private IP given by my data center linode..
j
with the new "endpoint detection" it will gather the interfaces and use the fastest one to connect with peers. So if they're in the same data center, and the private IP is the fastest, it will use that
r
Is it normal that with iperf tail scale has a higher throughput than netmaker
j
it shouldn't, since we're using kernel wireguard and they're using userspace, though could depend on a lot of factors. MTU setting, which path it's taking, etc
r
Is there a way to control the path or see which path it's taking?
j
you can do traceroute
but no way to control right now
r
Ok thank you
What's the max throughput for wire guard/netmaker I'm only hitting speeds in iperf of around 489mbps is that about max?
j
it should be able to hit like 95% of the speed of a direct connection, depending on how it's configured
r
Man, on my linode private IP iperf does 2.1gbps over netmaker it is only doing about 486 what settings should I mess with MTU?
j
you could try jumbo frames
which would be an MTU of 9000 I think
if you're getting GBPS that should be the right approach
r
Sorry if this is a dumb question but where would the appropriate place be to change this, under networks in the netmaker panel? Or actually using ifconfig and changing each nodes MTU
j
under "hosts" in the UI you can edit and change MTU
r
Awesome 9000 got me to 1.2gbyts
j
Some day we’ll implement MTU discovery to do that automatically but it’s pretty complicated to get right
r
I bet it is but for now great project! I'm just having my issues i believe
MQ
If I change the endpoints of my local linodes to point each other's private IP will that be similar to forcing communication between the local IP addresses instead of the public IP
