Technical Overview

Engineering breakdown of Benchmarking Zero Trust Tunneling for Edge Cloud (9580). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters, dedicated NIC queues, and deterministic interrupt handling to achieve sub‑millisecond latency across distributed edge nodes.

Zero Trust Tunnel Architecture

The tunnel leverages mutual TLS (mTLS) with short‑lived certificates rotated every 5 minutes via a lightweight SPIFFE/SPIRE control plane. Each edge node runs a userspace dataplane (e.g., wireguard-go or eBPF‑based XDP) that enforces identity‑based policies before packets enter the overlay.

Benchmark Methodology

Testbed: 3x Dell PowerEdge R750 (2× Intel Xeon Platinum 8380, 256 GB RAM, 2× 25 GbE NICs).
Workload: 10 k concurrent mTLS streams, 1 KB payload, bidirectional traffic.
Metrics: Handshake latency, steady‑state throughput, CPU cycles/packet, tail latency (p99).

Results are visualized in the telemetry chart below and can be reproduced using the provided code sandbox.
