Hardware questions do to poor routing speed

Hmm, all of those cores are at least 50% idle. What state was the machine in when those figures were taken?
Did top show high interior load? Are those pci NICs all on the same bus?Steve
-
that is taken when I download with about 220-250Mbps
all nic are as a daughter board for a jetway MB so they are on the same bus, network config
lagg 0
realtek lan
intelnet lanintel net 100Mbps internet
intel net 500Mpbs internet -
So this box has 2 realtek and 3 intel NICs yes?
The on board NICs may be on a separate bus in which case you may see different results between different NICs. Which are you testing between? How is your lagg interface configured?

Current setup is
1 realtek
3 intelthe onboard nic (realtek) and 1 intel on the daughter board is in lagg0
laggproto lacp
laggport: em1 flags=1c <active,collecting,distributing>laggport: re0 flags=1c <active,collecting,distributing>1 internet connection on em0 (100Mb)
1 internet connection on em2 (500Mb)test between em2 and lagg0.</active,collecting,distributing></active,collecting,distributing>

Ok. The lagg is only giving you redundancy in that setup, it's probably slowet than a single NIC.
Try running 'pciconf -lv' to check if they are all on the same bus.Steve

Ok so the Intel NICs are on bus 2 and the realtek on bus 1. Additionally the realtek device is pci-e and the Intel NICs are pci. It does depend how those buses are connected upstream.
Try removing lagg and using using just re0 for LAN.Steve
-
when breaking lagg and using re0 as the inside network I was able to pill close to 300Mbps and the cpu usages for the wan interface hit 73%
-
Ah, some improvement then. Is that 75% overall CPU usage?
It would be interesting to see the per core usage. The 330 isn't much below the d510 in performance terms and that can manage 485Mbps. That is between PCIe Intel NICs though.Steve
-
It is not overall it is on a single core, I will see i I can catch a dump of the load later today
-
im starting to wonder if there is a bad network interface in this box as this morning I can do about 224Mbps but there is no cpu load

Hmm, well it's clearly not the CPU that's restricting your throughput.
Perhaps try disabling hyperthreading in the BIOS since it's clearly not using the virtual cores usefully.
You could also try disabling anything you're not using in the BIOS, sound card, parallel port etc. One of this devices could be slowing the bus.Steve
-
That did not help, everything has been disabled, still only about 220-300Mbps and cpu load not over 50%

With HT disabled you're fully tapping a core at 50% (which you might see as 70/30, 50/50, 90/10, etc.). I'm still going to go with that's the cap for a 330, particularly since that's the same cap I hit a few years back.
