      Hello, I hope you are doing well. Thank you for taking the time to look into the issue.

      Let me begin by explaining the situation.
      I have multiple routers with pfSense configured as follows:

      pfSense 2.5.1
      FreeRadius
      Captive Portal
      MAC Authentication
      Separate networks using VLANs

      6 Intel EM Interfaces

      Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz
      4 CPUs: 1 package(s) x 2 core(s) x 2 hardware threads
      8GB RAM
      128GB SSD

      Handling traffic ranging from 600Mbps to 700Mbps during peak hours.

      The problem is as follows:

      All routers show the following resource consumption:

      0% interruptions, even when handling 900Mbps traffic, it maintains that percentage.

      We updated with a clean installation of version 2.7.0 and configured it like the other routers.

      The issue is that as soon as the traffic exceeds 600Mbps, interruptions start occurring, reaching up to 17%.

      This is without having the captive portal active. When activated, interruptions increase up to 60%.

      Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a solution? Or even if you haven't encountered it, any help in understanding how to resolve it would be appreciated.
