      Hi,

      I have pfsense(2.3.2-p1) for quite some time now, and i just love it, but .
      It´s running in:
      Dell R710 with Vmware > The VM is using the following: 4vCPU and 2048ram
      We have 3 wan(2diferents ISP and 3 differents tecnologys) links and 6 LANS
      Behind one of those lan we have another pfsense.

      The maximum number of clients connected in our network never surpasses 300 clients, but every time the number of states go over 10k stranges things happens.
      At randon times links starts to packetloss, and even go offline
      I set checksum offloading disable and it helped a little, but still when it goes over 10k starts to crash the links
      Could anyone give me any directions?

      Thx in advance!

          Are you overloading any of your WAN links (either in bandwidth or packets per second)?

            States are set to 200100
            But every time it goes over ~10k those things happen

            My Wan´s are not overloading, i get less than 20% load on them of badwidth, in packets i get top at 15,4kpps; 6,9kpps; 7,4kpps; on WAN1, WAN2 and WAN3, respectively  i don´t know if that is too big or normal

              What type of WAN do you have there?

              I recall talking to a customer a few years back and their cable modem crapped out with around that many connections going through it

                I have a dedicated link using copper wire
                2 cable modens from 2 different ISP

                  What are the respective bitrates?
