      After 10 minutes the speed test converges to 2 Gbps ;-)

      and the power consumption increased by ~ 5W

        Hmm, well that seems suspicious!

        No retries/retransmissions shown at either end? You might have to run it verbose perhaps. I expect to see something like:

        Check for ASPM in the BIOS if you haven't already. That can cause a lot of problems.

          I will chack the ASPM tomorrow, but I am afraid I have no option in my version.

            Try running with -V for more verbose output. It would be interesting to see if it's reducing he window size because or retries. That is common.

                Odd. Your output seems to have a space where retr and cwnd would be shown, but isn't. Same iperf version.

                  @roxy Apologies if I've somewhat lost the thread here but do you have a control, so to speak? That is to say, have you run iperf to the pfSense box from more than one host on your LAN and seen the same results? And, ideally, have you also run iperf tests directly between two hosts on your LAN and seen sustained 2.5Gbps throughput? Just trying to isolate variables. I wish I could help because it sounds like we have nearly (maybe exactly) identical pfSense hardware, except my whole LAN is still 1Gbps. I noticed from BIOS screen shots I took that I actually have ASPM enabled; haven't noticed any ill effects, but may disable it when I get a chance.

                  Also have you tried a UDP iperf test? I think iperf3 -c <pfsense_ip> -u -b 2.5G should work. I'm not sure what we'll necessarily learn if that goes worse/same/better but it's another data point to gather.

                    @roxy I think we have the same hardware and BIOS. I am able to sustain about ~2.3 Gbits/sec constantly using iperf now that I have new 2.5Gbe switches. Based on your openssl benchmarks also getting slower over time while you say temperatures are fine I'd guess you are hitting power limits just like @TheNarc seemed to be doing. I'm not sure why my box never experienced these issues with the same BIOS version but I guess the default settings which are normally hidden might be different. You might have to flash the same custom BIOS @TheNarc did and play with the PL1 settings it can unlock.

                    An explanation could be that the manufacturer of these boxes have realized they are not really built to passively cool a sustained heatload from these CPUs and have therefore added low sustained power limits (PL1) to remove crashes (which is an issue I experienced instead). So even though my box was performing much better out-of-the-box it would instead crash from sustained high temperatures and the only solution I found was to add an external fan blowing on the case. The CPU is fine with much higher temperatures but the other components in the very small and very badly ventilated box will cook the RAM and NVMe drives inside making them unstable because of the high ambient temperatures the CPU causes.

                      Of course, I am open to talk.

                      Thets right, we may have both similar hardware

                      First, let me paste the output on iperf3 (client, MacOS) with your options -u -b 2.5G
                      I see stable 2.4 Gbps 🎉 for 60 secs.

                      The option -u is using UDP rather than TCP.
                      When I run iperf3 without -u, i.e. with TCP, I still the speed decreased to 1.2 Gbps (but if if the test takes longer, the speed converges to 1.9 GBps)

                      Let me describe my setup.
                      I have two Intel N100 :-) machines. Both have 4 x 2.5 Gbps Intel NIC i226V . Both from TopTon ;-)
                      One is quite fresh, and I see diferent BIOS-es on both of them. First machine (older one) does have Performance in bios Advanced tab. Second machine (newer on) does not :-(

                      I have installed Proxmox on first (older) machine, and some time ago I experimented with pfsense running in VM.
                      But now, I have installed pfsense on bare metal second machine (newer one).

                      The pfsense NICs are physical ports and I named them as follows: (WAN) ISP, LAN, DMZ and SERVICES.
                      The proxmox ports are as follows

                      • vmbr1 (SERVICES) : enp4s0
                      • vmbr2 (LAN) : enp2s0
                      • vmbr3 (DMZ): enp1s0, enp3s0 - yeas, I have bridged two NICs

                      enp1s0 is connected to pfsense's DMZ
                      enp3s0 is connected to my MacBook's eth card (usb 2.5 Gbps)

                      I have started two Linux Containerx in Proxmox (ubuntu 22.04 + iperf3 running):

                      • Container1: connected with vmbr3 (DMZ)
                      • Container2: connected with vmbr1 (SERVICES)

                      When I run iperf3 -c <ip> from my Macboox I am in the DMZ network, so the traffic goes to Proxmox's enp3s0 and directly to vmb3 and to the iperf3 server running in VM (Container1).
                      Then I see no traffic in pfsense. This is ok to me. I would expect such behaviour, since this looks like connecting two devices in the same network (connected with vmbr - switch).
                      But when I ask iperf3 -c <ip> with ip from SERVICES network, then I see ..... what I presented above.
                      The traffic goes to proxmox first, but there is no bridge, and the traffic has to go from Proxmox machine to my pfsense through
                      Macbookx -> proxmox enp3s0 : vmbr3 : enp1s0 -> pfsense DMZ --- firewall rules --- pfsense SERVICES -> proxmox enp4s0 : vmbr1 --> Container 2

                      I think this really tests if my pfsense is able to handle 2.5 Gbps
                      I tried to simply my pfsense rules on DMZ interface, but I didn't see any difference if there was only one rule Pass Any Traffic

                        @roxy said in Topton N100 Reporting 402 MHz:

                        CPU Utilization: local/sender 90.9% (18.3%u/72.5%s), remote/receiver 26.0% (2.8%u/23.1%s)

                        That's the important part there. When testing with UDP there is no reply traffic so the sender just sends at whatever speed you tell it to. BUT the receiver only actually saw 1.4Gbps. Unclear why it doesn't show a large loss % there unless it didn't in fact actually send.
                        What does the server end show for that test?

                          I would be very thankful, if you could share the link to bios and the ISO file with instruction how to upgrade the bios.

                          My machine with pfsense has no option about Power Performance in the BIOS.

                              @roxy said in Topton N100 Reporting 402 MHz:

                              [ 5] 0.00-60.00 sec 11.4 GBytes 1.63 Gbits/sec 0.007 ms 3944234/12379986 (32%) receiver

                              Yup so 36% packet loss. I guess that's a bug in the earlier iperf version at the sender end that it doesn't show the loss value correctly.

                              Try testing in reverse (-R) to make sure it behaves the same both ways.

                              Try sending to/from pfSense directly to see if he throttling is obvious in one direction or on one NIC there.

                                Note it's actually pretty much the same as TCP so that rules out TCP windowing as an issue.

                                    @roxy This is the BIOS I ended up flashing. And here is a link to the flashing instructions, such as they are. I remember the process being a bit temperamental, but it did eventually work. If you attempt it and run into issues I can try to help work through it.

                                      You only need to use -R at the client end. It's useful because you can test both ways from the client only. Old iperf couldn't do that.
                                      Anyway it's the same both ways so it doesn't matter which NICs are sending or receiving in pfSense. That's good they should behave identically.
                                      So testing to/from pfSense as the server directly would show if the problem is specific to sending or receiving traffic.

                                        Thanks, I was able to find your post before, so I downloaded bios4.rom, but unfortunately I am not able to open the link to ISO
                                        To many Chineese characters in the iso link

                                        {"code":500,"message":"failed link: failed to get file: failed get parent list: failed get dir: failed get parent list: failed get dir: object not found","data":null}

                                          @roxy I've still got the ISO but it's too large to attach here (21MB). I've uploaded it here

                                            Thanks. But I am afraid with flashing the bios now. I will wait till I have more free time to fix bricked devices ;-)
                                            @TheNarc , does you hardware look exactly like mine ???
                                            4 NICs ???

                                            I would be very thankful, if you could share the link to bios and the ISO file with instruction how to upgrade the bios.

                                            My machine with pfsense has no option about Power Performance in the BIOS.
