Maybe interesting tidbit.. I have been using tinc to form a VPN
between the Netherlands and Chile (traceroute tells there are 24hops
between the hosts). Often both hosts have their network connections
loaded and still tinc continues to provide a workable VPN.

For the ping times between these two hosts (around 1second) the
overhead of tinc is not noticeable. The only config change needed was
to set a PingTimeout of 20 secs. 5secs is sometimes too soon.
