PFsense 2.3.1 on Intel 1900
-
Intresting, do you have enough systems to do all 4 ports at once?
max is can do the test with 3 systems. what kind of setup you are interested? 1 server 2 clients?
I thought everyone was interested in seeing the results of bridging the ports, so far you have only saturated two at once?
my side here is getting late will test it out soon, updat to you guys.
-
So, there will be some issue with this setup when you are putting stress on all ports.
First of all, for NAT WAN-to-LAN, if you try to do up/download at full speed your CPU will take about 50% processing power, while your bridge is eating another 30-40% if both ports saturate. Your CPU is running hot and basically nothing else the firewall can do because there is no more processing power left.
-
o.k will do the test these few days.

i am using the 1G fiber Internet nowadays really can't hit 1000M, when just sign up able to reach 850-950 easy easy.
Hitting exactly 1000 MBit/s would be worth and in my eyes unreachable for you! And this is pending on many
more things then only a "you don´t get it right" call.1.
Hitting 1000 MBit/s is like ~940 MBit/s- TCP/IP overhead
- time for passing NAT and performing out firewall rules
(or narrowing down the entire throughput)
2.
The Internet speed test server is in my eyes not a real test that can be easily repeated by all other users.
Please use iPerf or NetIO and then with a client PC as server and a client PC as client through the pfSense.The J1900 is from Q4/2013 and be sure not server grade, and so if you get anything nearly
1000 MBit/s you should be lucky if not, it can also be based on another point. (4)On the pfSense website was announced:
501+ Mbps - Multiple cores at > 2.0GHz are required. Server class hardware with PCI-e network adapters.If you are using PPPoE for your Internet connection only one CPU (SoC) core will be in usage!
And so the full potential of your J1900 SoC will not be unleashed or used for the WAN speed too. -

Might be the timing. Stinkhell's oversubscription ratio is relatively high.
Try other servers - Telin, SGIX, or NME (if available).

before i changed to this new 4ports intel j1900 i was using the tyan s3115 mainboard its comes with dual core 1.6 atom cpu and dual giga ethernet port that time was using the ddwrt x86 version also running very well till one day the ethernet stop to work.

guys,
just got time to test and got the result as below.

Nope.
What you need to do is hook up a computer to one of the bridged ports as a server (or client).
Then test iperf from another computer connected to another of the bridged ports (can be through a switch).
What you want to do is to test the performance when the traffic flows across pfSense from 2 of the bridged ports to determine if there is an impact to the throughput (there ought to be for this class of equipment).

just seen these on aliexpress
tempted for the price
what are they like with VPN running inbound and out ?

Nice to be seen / quoted but can you please answer what is it like running vpn server

192.168.3.4 -> 192.168.2.3 is NAT, right? That's too slow isn't it?
And I assume 192.168.2.3 -> 192.168.2.4 is connecting thru bridge? To me it's still too slow, if you try to do it with a normal GbE switch there should be a much better performance, and that's why most people here not recommending "bridging LAN ports just for switching purpose"guys,
just got time to test and got the result as below.

192.168.2.4 (OPT1) and 192.168.3.4 (OPT2) bridged to 192.168.2.3 (LAN). yeap total agree with you speed drop alot.

So this might be matching with what I mentioned before: The manufacturer is trying to put all devices together on same PCI-e lane, as a result the 2 ethernet cards are unable to run at full speed simultaneously, I owned another board which is industrial grade (Jetway N2930), claimed for networking purpose, and mine can do 940Mbps WAN-LAN NAT, and the PCI-e configuration could be an important factor.
-
i suspect might be my laptop ethernet.card driver issuse.
so to say that if i connected to a giga swith the output result should be better, right.So this might be matching with what I mentioned before: The manufacturer is trying to put all devices together on same PCI-e lane, as a result the 2 ethernet cards are unable to run at full speed simultaneously, I owned another board which is industrial grade (Jetway N2930), claimed for networking purpose, and mine can do 940Mbps WAN-LAN NAT, and the PCI-e configuration could be an important factor.

The disparity in the results seems too large and the J1900 most certainly can do firewalling/ routing beyond 500mbps at the very least.

no, i did not. something is fishy. i need to do some more test to comfirm the result.

There is a very similar machine:
Jetway JBC375F533W
Jetway Site: http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/JBC375F533.html
Shop: http://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/2000The "W" is for the wireless/wifi version, there is also one without the "W" and hence no wifi.
In general a nice device, 4x GBit LAN, pretty compact, enough power for any SOHO I would say, and two slots inside for expansion.
