A Full Mesh Layer2 VPN based on wireguard-go

OSPF can find best route based on it's cost.
But sometimes the latency are different in the packet goes and back.
I'm thinking, is it possible to find the best route based on the single-way latency?

For example, I have two routes A and B at node N1, both of them can reach my node N2. A goes fast, but B backs fast.
My VPN can automatically send packet through route A at node N1, and the packet backs from route B.

Here is the solution. This VPN Etherguard can collect all the single-way latency from all nodes, and calculate the best route using FloydWarshall algorithm.

Worried about the clock not match so that the measure result are not correct? It doesn't matter, here is the proof (Mandarin): https://www.kskb.eu.org/2021/08/rootless-routerpart-3-etherguard.html

Usage

Usage of ./etherguard-go:
  -bind string
        UDP socket bind mode. [linux|std]
        You may need std mode if you want to run Etherguard under WSL. (default "linux")
  -cfgmode string
        Running mode for generated config. [none|super|p2p]
  -config string
        Config path for the interface.
  -example
        Print example config
  -help
        Show this help
  -mode string
        Running mode. [super|edge|solve|gencfg]
  -no-uapi
        Disable UAPI
        With UAPI, you can check etherguard status by "wg" command
  -version
        Show version

Working Mode

Mode Description
Static Mode No dynamic routing, no handshake server.
Similar to original wireguard , all configs are static
Detail
Static Mode Inspired by n2n. There 2 types of node: SuperNode and EdgeNode
EdgeNode must connect to SuperNode firstget connection info of other EdgeNode from the SuperNode
The SuperNode runs Floyd-Warshall Algorithmand distribute the result to all other EdgeNodes.
Detail
P2P Mode Inspired by tinc, There are no SuperNode. All EdgeNode will exchange information each other.
EdgeNodes are keep trying to connect each other, and notify all other peers success or not.
All edges runs Floyd-Warshall Algorithm locally and find the best route by it self.
Not recommend to use this mode in production environment, not test yet.
