 ## Meeting Notes
+
+- WireGuard intro;
+  [slides](https://www.wireguard.com/talks/dockersig2017-slides.pdf) are
+  comprehensive, below is a small discussion of questions that occurred
+  - Jason Donenfeld the author and maintainer
+  - Patches for traditional userspace tools (ifupdown, OpenWRT/LEDE,
+    OpenRC netifrc, NixOS, systemd-networkd WIP, NetworkManager WIP) available
+    to allow ease of interface configuration
+  - demo
+    - ip and wg tools used to configure and inspect WireGuard interfaces
+    - no patches needed for iproute2, since the string "WireGuard" just gets
+      passed to the kernel via netlink when doing `ip link add type wireguard`
+  - WireGuard can live in one netns, physical interface can live in another
+    - so you can put wg0 in a container as the only interface, and it *must*
+      connect to the world via this interface
+  - No additional traffic necessary when packets are successfully sent/received
+    - When a unidirectional packet is sent, WireGuard sends back an empty ack
+      packet
+  - Kernel networking stack is the one allocating the packet buffers,
+    WireGuard doesn't allocate anything on top of this
+  - WireGuard overhead = UDP header + WireGuard = 60 bytes
+  - performance
+    - fast, no copies across \*space
+    - ChaChaPoly is fast
+  - upstreaming status:
+    - no v1 posted
+    - need to move from ioctl => netlink
+    - need to improve kernel crypto API to remove allocations
+  - maturity
+    - officially "experimental"
+    - formally verified, "pretty damn stable" :)
+    - may break protocol, but hopefully not now that it's verified
+- Next meeting August 2nd, please propose topics!
