right?
Instead, Yggdrasil uses TCP connections for peerings. This not only allows us to
take advantage of SOCKS proxies in a way that we cannot with UDP, but it also
gives us stream properties on our connections instead of being manually forced
to chunk UDP packets. In fact, we did this in the past, and it was ugly, and
actually worse than TCP performance-wise in many cases.

TCP will adjust the window size to match the lower link - in this case a
probable 1500 MTU - and will stream the large packet in chunks until it arrives
