[Feature Request] Why there is only 100Mbps speed for virtual network card on windows

[SuYong1]

Why there is only 100Mbps speed for virtual network card on windows?
I installed zerotier on my windows computer,and my network is NAT1, with 180Mbps upload.
Is there any method to change the virtual network card speed to 1000Mbps?

Maybe I should edit the source code,and compile?
But it is difficult for me.

constants.h?

To my understanding this number is just a dummy and you can have actual transfer speed more than that. You can try that with two computers in the same LAN to see if you are really limited by the 100mbps speed.

@gnattu is correct. It's just there for display purposes and doesn't actually affect throughput. Neither ZeroTier nor Windows do anything to limit the speeds over the interface. Packets are sent as fast as your CPUs can push them.

Your understanding is completely wrong. In actual scenarios, the allocation of 10Mbps in Linux systems is really limited to 10Mbps!
