High ping and packet loss in local network
-
I have a similar problem. Though I've never been able to produce it with a manual ping.
What I see is that the gateway monitor of a local router will suddenly begin having intermittent packet loss after pfSense has be online anywhere from a few days to couple weeks. Restarting pfSense, with no action taken on the target gateway, fixes it, for awhile.

I think that you problem isn't a real problem, but virtual: when you have packet loss, your latency is almost good! in 2.1 there is a problem with fake packet loss. look this thread: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=66328.0. If you wont to be sure that packet loss is fake, try smokeping utlity on another machine.
Also - your pings there in the .03 ms range to 2.1 - you sure you were not pinging yourself?? That is really FAST response even for a LAN..
Yes, sorry, my error with VM ::)
this is the correct pingping -S 192.168.2.10 -c10 192.168.2.1 PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.603 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.636 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.637 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=0.645 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=0.653 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=6 ttl=64 time=0.617 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=7 ttl=64 time=0.604 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=8 ttl=64 time=0.633 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=9 ttl=64 time=0.969 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_req=10 ttl=64 time=0.602 ms --- 192.168.2.1 ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.602/0.659/0.969/0.110 msMy hardware configuration is very simple, that's because i think the problem is pfsense.
scheme in attachments
This isn't a simplification, but my real network (wan side) where every arrow represent a cableIt just seems strange to me that ping from pfsense to X that response time would point to issue on pfsense.
pfsense puts ping on wire, there is a response.. Would pfsense having issues modify these times? Lets say the response comes in .5 seconds (500ms) how would pfsense as it moves it up the stack change that time to 10 ms?
it's strange for mee too, but I think it's the most likely thing. Maybe pfsense increase it's X time to put ping on the wire and consequently latency increase..

I don't know why is so fast, but this is a production server, with good cable (cat 5e, 6) and decent switch (but not excellent).Ok low 3's – but sub .2 -- I don't think I have ever seen such speeds.
2.1 box is a zeroshell router, before putting it i haven't this low ping.

I'm sure because of this:
PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1) from 192.168.2.5: 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.149 msand:
Interface configuration:

Or are you just seeing weird stuff when your pinging?
I've started to monitoring my ping because of issue with VOIP, that is more suscettibile of packet loss and high latency. I've got a lot of drop calls or very low calling quality.
Then i've PHYSICAL switch WAN3 (where the VOIP go out) from em0 (em0, em1 are on the same physical network, a dual port) to em2 (motherboard's NIC ) AND i've moved other traffic that exit from wan3 to wan1, SO this network now work good. At this point i've thinked that i've a broken or not properly working NIC, but i've tried another hardware configuration, but the issue persists. So i've tried, on my production server, to put all the wan on the NIC that i was sure working good: em3. I've created and configured 2 wan on 2 vlan + 1 wan without it: DISASTER :o ALL the wan had the same problem, even worse. I've tried also to change switch!With my actual configuration i haven't problem with VOIP, but the internet navigation is worse and slower because of this lag/packet loss.
PS. thanks for your interest :D

And what macs are you seeing on those IPs from arp -a on 2.5 pinging 2.1
I will do some testing at work from highend cisco switch connected to another highend cisco switch.. Its just sub <.2ms just seems like one screaming LAN or your just pinging yourself..
And your sub .2 and then out of the blue 20ms – then next ping back to sub .2, that seems just not right.
-
Those ping times look OK to me, aside from the sudden jump to 20ms.
My test pfSense box is setup behind my home pfSense box connected directly by a 0.5m cat5e cable. The 'normal' ping responce is <0.2ms. See attached RRD graph.
That is attached to some bridged ports on the pfSense box also so I would expect that to add some time.Though your ping times are still lower than mine and you are using a switch.
In your diagram above you seem to have two boxes labelled 192.168.1.254. Typo? Just indicating the subnet? My not understanding your diagram?

For short cable runs on gigabit, that is rather normal. I usually run ping tests after setting up structured cabling (loss packets are more indicative of issues than throughput tests that vary largely). Sub .3ms is very normal even for longer runs (>50m). The varying factor is usually the load on the end point systems.
e.g.
This is a ping test for a Gigabit connected access point that is currently actively streaming HD videos over WLAN:--- 192.168.0.11 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.463/4.956/9.644/3.571 msThis for a 10/100 connected access point that is currently inactive (no clients connected):
--- 192.168.0.10 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.257/0.275/0.327/0.026 msAnd this is a ping test for my Gigabit connected PC that's hardly doing much other than streaming a youtube video or two:
--- 192.168.0.2 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 5 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.247/0.262/0.312/0.025 ms -
Forgot to say that my boxes above are both using fxp 10/100 NICs. ;)

It's really normal to see <0.5ms pings on a local network run (even through dumb switches). My point being that the latencies will vary largely based on the end point devices and their load. A short spike may just indicate that the end device is under load at the time.
In this case, the devices the OP is pinging may simply be under load at the time (since they are technically routers doing their job).

In this case, the devices the OP is pinging may simply be under load at the time (since they are technically routers doing their job).It might seem correct, but if it were i should saturate 100mbit or the end point devices should have 100% or something like cpu using. This is impossible also because when i have this latency from pfsense if i ping from another box the same router at the SAME TIME, i get a fast and stable ping time.

Is this machine on the same network as pfSense?
Presumably, pfSense is pinging the said router on its 'LAN' or 'DMZ' interface. Is the machine you're using also attached to the same interface or a different interface?
BTW, do you have traffic shaping or QOS enabled on pfSense or the target router(s)?
-
"It's really normal to see <0.5ms pings on a local network run"
Agreed.. .4 to .5 very common I see this all the time in the lan and expect it.. Is just .1 to .2, I don't see that – I wouldn't call our switches over worked or anything but only time I recall seeing such low numbers is pinging local..
When at work trmw going to ping around the datacenter seeing what kind of low times I can find ;)

Try prioritizing icmp using the floating rules and see what you get. In practical terms, it does little but if it works then you know what to do to get the best effect on your setup.
-
@johnpoz: Don't bother to do so on my account. Lol. I do see 0.2 ms roundtrip on wired connections now and then during line testing but this is with fully idle systems. I.e. Idling system ping to smart switch on the other end without and other connected devices.
Nevertheless, a lightly loaded system should still give 0.4-0.5 ms pings. -
talking about pinging say the console or mgmt switches from say another switch - neither would be very active – idle sucking juice is about all they wold be doing.. Now in a DC where the run might be 100ft, or quite possible they are next to each other in the rack but again patch panels to connect them most likely.
I wouldn't be doing it for anyone other than myself - I don't recall ever seeing those kinds of speed in any network I have worked on in 20+ years.. But then again maybe I just never pinged anything directly connected ;) Quite possible.
-
I only do that to quickly test structured runs really. It's not indicative of real world practical applications but any major issues or interference generally shows.

I think that the prioritization give some benefits, but the proble are not the ping (obviously) but the internet traffic that go through this links wich results slower.. So if QoS is working, there is a bottleneck somewhere in my box? It seems strange load is low and the connections too..
Moreover, even if QoS reduces the problem, this is still present, is inconceivable go from 0.117 ms latency to 14.669 ms. :/P.S. At this time (12.00am) every day ping and packet loss are worsen

@bullet: I meant prioritizing the ping packets rather than to disable the qos as a whole. That is, for the purpose of testing, set floating rules on each interface with direction out, protocol icmp, source address of the interface and place in the highest priority queue.
Edit: By any chance, do you have Upperlimit, or Limiter, or PowerD with P4TCC, or any combination of those enabled?

@dreamslacker
yes, i understand that, infact is what i've done!I've setted the traffic shaper with the wizard and it's automatically set a Upperlimit.
So now i tried to remove all the shaper and this is what i get:
–- 192.168.2.1 ping statistics ---
50 packets transmitted, 50 packets received, 0.0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.100/0.174/0.251/0.039 msSOLVED!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
ps: So now I only need to configure correctly the traffic shaping
