+
+  Diese Arbeit untersucht Peer-to-Peer-Mesh-VPNs mithilfe eines
+  reproduzierbaren, Nix-basierten Frameworks, das auf einem
+  Deployment-System namens Clan aufbaut. Wir evaluieren zehn
+  VPN-Implementierungen, darunter Tailscale (über Headscale),
+  Hyprspace, Nebula, Tinc und ZeroTier, unter vier
+  Netzwerkbeeinträchtigungsprofilen mit variierendem Paketverlust,
+  Paketumsortierung, Latenz und Jitter, was über 300 einzelne
+  Messungen in sieben Benchmarks ergibt.
+
+  Unsere Analyse zeigt, dass Tailscale unter beeinträchtigten
+  Bedingungen den Standard-Netzwerkstack des Linux-Kernels
+  übertrifft, was auf seinen Userspace-IP-Stack mit optimierten
+  Parametern zurückzuführen ist. Wir bestätigen dies, indem wir die
+  Benchmarks mit entsprechend angepassten Kernel-Parametern erneut
+  durchführen und vergleichbare Durchsatzgewinne beobachten. Die
+  Untersuchung deckte zudem eine kritische Sicherheitslücke in einem
+  der evaluierten VPNs auf.
