25.03.b.20250306.0140 if_ppoe kernel module no or little upload traffic seen in traffic graphs

[netblues]

This is a 1g/500mbit pppoe connection running under Redhat kvm with virtio drivers.

Running iperf inbound to pf shows this

which is expected
Running iperf in reverse mode (and getting full 500Mbit upload) after the graph autoscales
produces this

At the same time, interface statistics seems to increase rapidly, so traffic is recorded, but not graphed.

Can't say I see much improvement on load average, but this needs more testing.
