      I deployed an XG-7100 today and am having quite a bit of trouble exceeding 50Mbps in either direction over IPsec.

      I have 1 VM running pfSense in Azure @ 100Mbps, 1 at home @ 300Mbps, XG-7100 here at office @ 300Mbps.

      While I can saturate 100Mbps both ways on the Azure VM <-IPsec-> Home pfSense

      I cannot get over 50Mbps on Azure VM <-IPsec-> XG-7100.
      I cannot get over 50Mbps on Home <- IPsec -> XG-7100.

      I have confirmed that without IPsec I can hit 100Mbps easily.

      Currently I have the following configuration for all IPsec links:

      P1 and P2
      AES128-GCM 128Bit
      AES-XCBC

      AES-NI enabled in System Settings

      Am I missing something crucial here for trying to get ~100Mbps IPsec?
