Network Performance Testing

Date: 2026-01-07
Purpose: Baseline network performance metrics

Test Commands

Tailscale Latency Tests

# Test latency to BlueFly Mac
tailscale ping -c 10 bluefly-m4.tailcf98b3.ts.net

# Test latency to GitLab Mac (when online)
tailscale ping -c 10 gitlab-m3max.tailcf98b3.ts.net

# Test latency to GL-iNet Router (when online)
tailscale ping -c 10 glinet-router.tailcf98b3.ts.net

Cloudflare Tunnel Performance

# Test public endpoint latency
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -o /dev/null -s https://mesh.bluefly.internal/health

# curl-format.txt contents:
#     time_namelookup:  %{time_namelookup}\n
#     time_connect:  %{time_connect}\n
#     time_starttransfer:  %{time_starttransfer}\n
#     time_total:  %{time_total}\n

Local Network Performance

# Test Deco Mesh gateway
ping -c 10 192.168.68.1

# Test local service
curl -w "Time: %{time_total}s\n" http://localhost:3005/health

Performance Baselines

Target Metrics:

  • Tailscale latency: < 50ms (local), < 200ms (remote)
  • Cloudflare Tunnel: < 500ms total
  • Local service: < 10ms
