That's definitely interesting too, but despite the increased risk of more power, what I'd like would be more complex then that. I want clients that were made long before the noise protocol framework even existed to still be able to get all traffic forced into a virtual network over it, which means effectively to dispense with layer 2 entirely as something for more then physical bit moving and move all traffic and traffic management/auth into L3 or higher. That's certainly becoming more cheaply possible on a technical level with modern SBCs, but I don't know of any really elegant turnkey product yet. Feels like one of those situations where you can see a lot of pieces of the puzzle scattered about but not quite pieced together. Would you still call that a "network slug"? Might be a decent name regardless, but the description there sounds much, much simpler and more focused on layer 2.
