What is the packet overhead? #73

I'm having trouble finding what the packet overhead is here. 28B for UDP, but what does tinyfec add?

I'm looking at running tinyfecvpn on top of wireguard which uses 57B but I want to get the largest packets I can across the tunnel. I see that the default MTU is 1250 but I would assume that tinyfecvpn isn't using 250B here.
