          You have SpeedShift enabled?

          Be good to see more of that top output so we know what's generating that CPU load.

                Ok so all Suricata load basically. If you disable it as a test without any other changes do you get full bandwidth?

                  @stephenw10 Yes, exactly, if suricata disabled speed test show as should be about 95% of max capacity as set in traffic shaping limiters!

                    Hmm. Do you see the same in legacy and in-line mode?

                      @stephenw10 Use in-line mode, don't use legacy mode. Do you want to test in legacy mode?

                        Yes, test legacy mode. See if there is any change.

                            Hmm, so possibly some netmap issue. If you run sysctl dev.netmap.admode=1 it should prevent netmap running in emulated mode which is very slow. However that does mean it can only run in native mode so may break if that's not possible for some reason.

                              @stephenw10 I will try to set in native mode, but also have net.bpf.zerocopy_enable=1 is it not a problem?

                                I wouldn't expect that to make any difference there if netmap is working. Why do you have that set?

                                    Oh, in the install log? Ok well I would definitely try disabling that then. Almost all users would not set that.

                                      @Antibiotic Unfortunately, sysctl dev.netmap.admode=1 doesn't help at all. So the option only to use in legacy mode?

                                        But it didn't break traffic?

                                        That implies igc is running netmap in native mode but for some reason the performance isn't as expected. That's not something I've ever poked at in any depth. There may be some tuning option there though.

                                          @stephenw10 I'm left netmap in native mode and remove from sysctl net.bpf.zerocopy_enable=1. The speed the same as not to be normal. Its not a break traffic. Can you please give me some links for tuning netmap in native mode? BTW after reboot all this services ( suricata, crowdsec, ntopng and pfblockerng need to start manually something wrong)

                                            Well nothing specific since, as I say, I've not really poked at this. But I'd start here: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=netmap

                                            Bill can probably tell us if this is worth investigating.
