      I'm conducting experiments on how to improve the performance of my box. I can't figure out where to put the ff entries and it's syntax:

      hw.igb.0.rxd="2048"
      hw.igb.0.txd="2048"
      hw.igb.num_queues="0"
      hw.igb.enable_aim="1"
      hw.igb.max_interrupt_rate="16000"
      hw.igb.rx_process_limit="-1"
      hw.igb.tx_process_limit="-1"

      I have i350 T4 NIC.

      Thanks

        hw.igb values like that are loader tunables. You should put them in the file /boot/loader.conf.local. Create that file if you don't have one yet.
        However I would not expect to need any of those in 2.6.

          Thanks for the reply.

          May I ask are there any entries that are still relevant in Loader.conf.local? Do we have a listing somewhere?

            You can put whatever loader values you want in there but you shouldn't need to add anything.
