Looking at the docs, Octelium uses a hub-and-spoke model with Gateways acting as central routing points, unlike Tailscale's direct peer-to-peer mesh - this architectural difference impacts performance, privacy, and deployment complexity.

No, Octelium does not use a hub-and-spoke model. It's a distributed system that's a horizontally salable architecture on top of Kubernetes. This design is meant to provide seamless horizontal scalability and availability, among other things.
