Changes
Changed
- Linux FIPS private-mesh dataplane now includes the direct endpoint-payload
send path, opt-in vnet TUN fast path guardrails, and wider Linux receive drains used by the latest latency benchmark work.
- Docker FIPS perf and soak harnesses now capture richer benchmark provenance,
trace mismatches, bulk-container pressure, receive drops, and bounded iperf probe windows.
Fixed
- FIPS TUN-to-mesh queuing now preserves priority progress under bulk load by
classifying liveness/control packets separately from bulk tunnel traffic and accounting queued bulk capacity by packet.
- Linux FIPS throughput/latency experiments now use tuned TUN queue depth and
mesh burst behavior without undoing the macOS bounded queue/coalescing safeguards from 4.0.75.
