  • Even after you get your ideal setup with all your traffic transversing your network to a single host, you have bottle necked the whole network to the speed of that single host.

    Usually in networks devices are able to talk to each other directly across switch fabrics and not interdesr with other traffic.

    Say you have four devices A B C D each pair trying to send 1GiB/S of traffic to each other over a GbE network connected to the same switch. A,B gets 1 GbE and C,D gets 1 GbE. For a total concurrent speed of 2GbE.

    In your model since all traffic has to hit the central wireguard node W first you can only get 1GbE speed concurrently
