      @stephenw10 hi,
      ix0 and ix1 are internal interfaces (LAN), and they were bonded into lagg0 interface.
      bce* and bge* are inferfaces used for internet (WAN interface). they are configured PPPOE.

        Hmm, well looks like they are all checksum errors on the ix NICs. However that was updated int he driver for 2.6 and then further changes were made more recently as some of those were shown to be spurious.

        Looks it's buffer exhaustion on the bce NIC which normally means the NIC is not being serviced by the CPU fast enough for the incoming traffic.
        I would check that value matched the current input error count from netstat though.

            Hmm, OK so those errors are shown as InputDiscards for bge, as com_no_buffers for bce and as checksum_errs in ix.

            Do you have flow control active on any of those links?
            My first though here is that the NICs are just dropping packets because the CPU queues are maxed out.

              --> No, I don't

              My first though here is that the NICs are just dropping packets because the CPU queues are maxed out.
              --> so how can I check CPU queues ? and Is there solution for this?

                Check the boot logs to make sure each NIC is coming up with the expected number of queues initially. Check the CPU usage per core on the firewall using top -HaSP at the CLI. Do you have cores that are maxed out.
                Try enabling flow control. That should prevent packet loss in the even the NIC cannot be serviced fast enough. Though it may introduce other issues.

                  I find the ix0 and ix1 interface using 8 queues.

                  Additionally, I've re-checked and found pfsense already enabled flow control:

                  sysctl hw.ix

                  hw.ix.enable_rss: 1
                  hw.ix.enable_fdir: 0
                  hw.ix.unsupported_sfp: 0
                  hw.ix.enable_msix: 1
                  hw.ix.advertise_speed: 0
                  hw.ix.flow_control: 3
                  hw.ix.max_interrupt_rate: 31250
                  

                  Thanks!!!

                    Flow control is negotiated though, both ends have to support it.

                    Nothing much happening in that top output. Was there any traffic flowing at that point? Were the errors increasing ?
                    What I expect to see is that when traffic through the NIC peaks the CPU core(s) servicing it max out and it drops packets. Assuming that is the cause.

                    Are you able to see the number of queues on the bce/bge NICs? vmstat -i may show it.

                      yes, a lot of traffic at that point, and the errors increasing as well.
                      CPU usage is always less than 10%.

                        Hmm, looks like 1 irq per NIC for bce/bge. However I'd expect to see one CPU core at 100% if it was failing to service the NIC fast enough.

                        What are those NICs connected to? Are you seeing errors on the connected devices?

                          bce/bge is internet lines, so they are connecting converter (ISP devices). I can't check on ISP devices.
                          ix is LAN interface . It is connecting to cisco meraki switch, but I checked on this switch and I don't see any error related to interfaces (those connecting to Pfsense)

                            Hmm, hard to say.

                            You might swapping the ix and bce/bge NICs to see if the errors follow them. That might not be possible with the media types you have.
