PC Engines APU2C4 Download bandwidth half of upload
-
Someone had a suggestion in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/96129/gigabit-pppoe-and-intel-drivers/12 but nobody seems to have tried it yet.

Yes, if you're hitting that it would be good to try that sysctl.
Unfortunately I can only dream of a WAN connection that fast.

Sounds average for a high speed PPPoE connection and the current release of pfSense.
I have been waiting 4 years for this to get fixed https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4821 with no resolution in sight.

Just tried it, download has improved to 450 mbits/s. I'll do some more testing over the next 24 hours. Speed tests are notoriously fickle and I'd like to get some average numbers
-
@themaninspain for grins, you might try to compare with a linux based distro, like openwrt
-
Mmm, that's quite a significant improvement. More than I expected TBH.

@stephenw10 It's about what I expected; the freebsd defaults are trying to do too much in the interrupt context for these low-power devices. If he runs both tests with firewalling disabled, I'd expect a dramatic improvement in the non-deferred case and hopefully much less so in the deferred case (but that's hard to test in a NAT environment). Also, @themaninspain what are your net.isr.maxthreads and net.isr.numthreads set to?
-
Both are set to 4
-
@themaninspain cool, that should be optimal
-
Bandwidth measurements are consistent. Max download is averaging out to 450.
I know I won't get the full 600/600 but I don't really need it.Thanks for all of the help.
