High uplink buffering
-
So I get high uplink buffering on the icsi netalyzr, 1100ms, 13200/2200 config from my modem, Comcast.
Pfsense specs: e5300 @ 3.3 ghz, 4 gigs of ram, 1x 1gbps onboard nic, 1xintel 1gbp/s nic.(Same thing happens on my other box which has 2 intel ncis and a p4 @ 2.0ghz)

Anyone else get high uplink buffering, and anyway to fix this? My friend on a dd-wrt modem has 330ms uplink buffering.
Oh also the buffering goes to 2000ms if I have the traffic shapero n.
-
I got 240ms here. ;D

Using 2.0 on an ex-Watchguard Firebox x700 (1.2 ghz celeron, 512 mb ram, 6x 100 mbit RE nics), uplink buffering is 100ms.
-
Are you guys both using 2.0? Also is it maxing your dl during the test?
-
I was using 1.2.3release embedded in a re-purposed firebox x6000.
I just ran the test again, this time through two pfsense boxes (double nat). The extra box is running 2.0B4. I got 229ms.
I have a 20Mb ADSL connection and I live only a few hundred meters from the exchange so the modem usually syncs at 19Mb or higher. The test shows 5.3Mb/s so no I'm not maxing the connection! >:(

@jigglywiggly, yes, this is using 2.0.
And no, it 'only' reaches something like 7 megabytes down and 1 megabyte up during my test.
That probably is enough bandwidth to perform a good test. -
It maxes my upload for sure, so it's uploading all your guys's upload during the test? (it doesn't max my DL either, I misspoke and meant upload not download).
And tried 2.0 beta 4, same problem ; /
-
Ah well..running the test again.
870Kb/1Mb which is pretty much maxed out. 220ms buffer.Steve
-
My upload is 10 mbit/s, which is saturated when performing the test.
My download, which is 120 mbit/s, is not saturated. -
Anyone have an idea why my uplink buffering is so high? I have switched the nic cards from the onboard to 2xintel pci nics, and tried pfsense 2.0 x64. Same issue, 13200/2200 config from modem…

What makes you think this is a pfsense problem?
Are you running the test from the same box?

Yeah I ran it on an Ubuntu box next to me same thing, I'm on Windows 7 x64 on my evga 780i.
I'll go check that link.EDIT: Just turned traffic shaper on pfsense, got a whopping 61ms of uplink buffering, of course I effectively killed Comcast's speedburst, before I got 4.7 mbp/s on upload, now I got 2.0 mbp/s. Not that it really matters because my config is 13200/2200
