This is conceptually interesting but seems quite a ways from a real end to end implementation - a bit of a smell of academic grantware that I hope can reach completion.

Fully available source from RTL up (although the license seems proprietary?) is very interesting from an audit standpoint, and 1G line speed performance, although easily achieved by any recent desktop hardware, is quite respectable in worst case scenarios (large routing table and small frames). The architecture makes sense (software managed handshakes configure a hardware packet pipeline). WireGuard really lacks acceleration in most contexts (newer Intel QAT supposedly can accelerate ChaCha20 but trying to figure out how one might actually make it work is truly mind bending), so it’s a pretty interesting place to do a hardware implementation.
