10Gbe Tuning?
-
Anybody has any experience with pfSense 2.1.x and Intel 10GbE network controller 82599ES? Supermicro AOC-STGN-i2S is based on this controller, therefore I would like to know weather 82599ES is supported under pfSense 2.1.x? Does it work out-of-the-box or does it require some manual drivers installation?
-
The Intel X520 cards with the same chip work great so I would assume that SuperMicro's card also works, though I do not know for sure.

Intel x520 uses 82599 and 82599ES chips … are there any essential differences between those two chips?
-
82599 is the family. 82599ES is the actual chip.
If you want a feature comparison between the chips in that family then take a look at the link below.

What fiber sfp+ modules are you guys using for the intel x520?

I use mostly Direct Attach cables, not optics, but when I do use fiber it's either genuine Intel modules or knockoffs from approvedoptics.com.

Nice, regular 8431 cables like http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-XDACBL5M-Twinaxial-Netwrk-Cable-Twinaxial-Netwrk-16-40ft-SFF-8431-Male-/311114486894?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item486fde546e or? And this card is 2x10gbit full duplex? if so, possible lacp @ 2x10gbit?

Yes, cables like that.
Theoretically, yes, you could put two links together for 2x10Gbit/s.

Now do the math on 40Gbps NICs and a $99 break-out cable. :-)

on my actual setup - J1900 + ssd + 8gb ram and 2xIntel i210T
For PPPoE i got verry low speed. Around 346.96 Mbit/s. connection is 1000 Mbit/s.I'm not expecting to get 1000 but @least 50%
dev.igb.0.%desc: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection version - 2.4.0 -
What CPU usage are you seeing?

How does that divide across the cores? I imagine you have one core at 100%
Steve
-
one core is reaching 100% yeah…rest of them are low in load.

Are you able to adjust this over the PowerD function perhaps?
-
According to what I have found on the forum this is meant to be "adaptive"
Found that we can change the parameters by editing /etc/inc/system.Inc
Or în gui via system - advanced - miscellaneous. -

Yes this I was meaning, by an Alix APU we where seeing the throughout gaining
from ~450 MBit/s to 650 - 750 MBit/s only by activating or changing the PowerD options. -
Sounds pretty nice !

Nikkon, this fits your use case: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4821
