Mmm, try setting those to 1. You may need to add them as loader values to /boot/loader.conf.local.
-
@stephenw10 yeah, no dice on that.
The only thing I will say is I tried a USB NIC and that also was seeing packet loss, so at this point I can't fathom, besides a CPU issue as a whole with the Topton box, how this could be anything but the provider's problem. Unfortunately they insist there's no connectivity issues to their modem and the gateway I'm connecting to is upstream of that, so theoretically they should see an issue if there was one...
-
No difference at all with a much lower hwpstate_intel setting?
-
@stephenw10 I blew away my router entirely and rebuilt it from scratch, restoring some of the FW side of things but not the system tunables and other settings just so I could confirm I was starting with a clean config. Here's what I have:
And here's what we look like:
ANd here's what the system log looks like for gateways:

Hmm, and no dropped packets or errors in the sysctl output?

igc.0 is the WAN that is seeing the loss
-
Just to add to the curiosity, all loss cleared up approximately 2 hours ago and appears to have remained stably loss-free since then. I spoke to my provider again and they seem quite insistent there is nothing wrong with my circuit and they see no reason why this should be happening. However, they also confirmed the modem they have given me is quite dumb and 1) cannot hard-code interface speeds/duplex and 2) does not support a DMZ host, so if I moved it back to router mode I'd need to manually open each and every port.

@rmeskill said in High interrupts on WAN/LAN interfaces?:
dev.igc.0.mac_stats.good_pkts_recvd: 147664355
dev.igc.0.mac_stats.total_pkts_recvd: 147669598Hmm, the only thing I see there is that. Implying ~5000 bad packets received. But no errors so probably just rejected. Not really a huge number out of 147M.

Hmm, did you reboot after setting override_nrxqs to 1? You might need to set that as a loader value rather than a tunable
-
@stephenw10 I did, but now I've added it to loader value, rebooted, and it's up:
loss is back, though-was completely clean for about 3h, now back to 40-60% loss... -
If I'm honest, I'm starting to just think my provider might, on top of having some issues in their network, be blocking ICMP packets sporadically. Because despite seeing 20-60%+ loss, I'm seeing quite low RTTs that are staying quite consistent:
The issue for me has been my secondary gateways (via Wireguard tunnels) are dropping because I have them set to drop based on loss, but perhaps I should instead change the down setting to latency and see how that treats me... There are still definitely gremlins in there somewhere, as sometimes I do crap out and throughput drops to basically zero, but it seems somewhat counterintuitive that I can be allegedly running loss of 20-60% but also see fine real-world performance. -
Are you seeing the NIC actually using 1 queue now?
Ah, also check:
sysctl hw.igc.max_interrupt_rateI think we bumped that default to 20000
-
@stephenw10
Yes, actually seeing 1 queue now, but still loss

Checked the interrupt rate and it was 20000, so no dice there -
Hmm, well seems to be configured correctly. At least largely the same as the 4200 which works fine.
I guess I'd try to test the WAN with something else.
