Intel DN2800mt x64 2.0.3-2.1 bandwidth

Yeah - I'd read that sometimes polling doesn't work well, but I also figured it can't hurt to try if you are about to wipe and reinstall.
I definitely do NOT recommend to touch polling unless you have quick physical access to the box. It can be so bad that reverting is troublesome even with serial console.

You did read that he was about to reinstall right?
-
Yep, device polling can end up switching so many cpu cycles to polling the NICs that the webgui slows to a crawl or even becomes unusable.
Here's some discussion of IP fastforwarding: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,57723.0.html
Does the pfSense box you're testing use VLANs directly? This could be a hardware off loading limitation.

haha… Its as if people would think thats my first button I'd switch.
I figure if you are about to wipe the box, may as well try everything first.
What I have gotten so far is "Device polling needs to be removed from the GUI as an option because it only breaks things worse". -

Yeah, good idea…

I'm feeling a little defensive right now.
I'm going off to the corner to cry a while and drink coffee :P -

Beer >> coffee :P
P.S. Started a new thread on the device polling "feature".

Its a little early for me in the day to start swilling beer. I'm waiting till noon for that.
I have been wondering this for a long while but never have gotten a clear answer.
Does / can a HDD slow down the throughput of a build like this?
Is there an advantage in throughput for SDD over HDD (not talking about caching or swapping)? -
tried forwarding, gain minimal bandwidth. 32Mb exact. so now were near 352Mbish.. still way below capability
-
ive read on this forum in some post where a guy LOVES pfsense, but tried microtek. and performed 800 something on his board. I'm gonna try that real quick and see if its capable of routing on a different distro.
-
That will be interesting to see…
-
still working on it. tried monowall Bandwidth was almost halfed at 199Mb/s tried installing smoothwall but wouldn't boot the cd. sat at grub. tried mikrotik, i can't figure out the goofy key system they want to use. tried installing Untangle, sat at black screen during install. and now retrying clearos but takes awhile to install from cd.
Could all this be that it is the new NM10 chipset on this generation of atoms?

"Could all this be that it is the new NM10 chipset on this generation of atoms?"
That would get back to my assertion to newer and better is only better if compatibility is there 100% and its usually not in the first couple years.
But, I don't know the answer to that question. Do you have a old relic of a computer with a gigabit WAN port to try with?
If that blazes away, I'd maybe blame the new chipset.

Nothing that would be slower then this atom.
I can't get clearos to register, im sure the firewall my district is using to block traffic has sniped my connection. I can't get any other distro to work at the moment either. not having any luck at all. the best i can do is take the card out and put it in a core 2 duo 8400 but that wouldn't prove anything other then the card works…. Im doing it.
-
There are a lot of boards using that chipset now. If it alone was causing this I'd expect more questions on the forum.
As you have found in the thread linked it's often possible to get better throughput with a Linux based OS. An unfortunate fact. However it's normally not an issue, the limit you're seeing is something more. In my opinion. ;)Steve

Same Nic in an optiplex 755, 109.8MB/s equals to 878Mbps. Had to use 2.0.3 on this one though, as 2.1 didnt give out an DHCP address.

Got my msata ssd in today so we will kill the HD theory in a bit

Do you have hardware flow control enabled on all the links?
vlan side of subject pf, is direct to pc. Flow control is enabled on rx/tx
Last part of the answer is incomplete. Do you have hardware flow control enabled on the NICs sourcing and sinking the traffic AND on intermediate switch ports AND on relevant pfSense physical interfaces? If so, how did you do it on the pfSense interfaces?

as for the source and client flow control is enabled. on the pfsense interface I haven't even looked at. I'll see what i can find..
as for the Hard drive SSD didn't make one bit of difference. except drop wattage. was at 20 with 3.5HDD now at 13~14 back and forth with ssd.
As I was saying I installed fresh so i didn't change anything in /boot/loader.conf.local
at the moment im trying to figure out how to get into it and add things, change etc. I'm not too familiar on how to do it.Nvm, just found edit file -
No change there either.. this is what my loader.conf.local file looks like now.
kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
kern.em.nmbclusters="131072"
hw.em.num_queues=1
hw.em.fc_setting=1does this look right or am i going to have to do one for each for example.
*hw.em0.num_queues=1
hw.em1.num_queues=1
