Information is very sparse when it comes testing the performance of congestion control algorithms. All you can really do is compare behavior before and after activating the desired method. Check that the sysctl are applied after reboot. If you don't see them, pfsense is like ignoring them and the need to be in the loader.conf.local or even in the rc.conf.local (netgate uses a wacky conf structure).
this two options add sysctl can show. I haven't felt any improvement yet.
sysctl net.inet.tcp.cc.cdg.smoothing_factor
net.inet.tcp.cc.cdg.smoothing_factor: 10
sysctl net.inet.tcp.cc.cdg.alpha_inc
net.inet.tcp.cc.cdg.alpha_inc: 1and i find the option, it add sysctl not work, maybe add to loader.conf.local?
http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/tools/cc_cdg-0.1.readme
net.inet.tcp.cc.cdg.wifThis allows cdg to more aggressively increase its window to better utilise high BDP links. It is a additive increase mechanism where the amount of additive increase can be increased ofter wif RTTs with no congestion. (w = w + i, where i is incremented every wif RTTs or i=1 if wif = 0) Default is 0 (Reno like behaviour). -
I would put it in loader.conf.local and see if pfsense will load it at boot then. If you see no change, then, perhaps, the reason for your dropped packets is not congestion. Could be buffer overrun. Have you tweaked your TCP buffers and receive/send spaces ?
-
If you are testing from a local client on LAN, that setting will make no difference on the firewall. The only thing affected by that will be TCP connections to/from the firewall itself. It will not affect traffic passing through the firewall.
You probably want to enable something like that on your clients and workstations, not the firewall.

It appears that most errors are being logged on your LAGG port. I am going to assume that the same errors are not showing on the stats for the LAGG members ? If that is the case, only time I've seen this behavior is when you have ports LAGGed but not all of them have actual active links, so say, you have igb0 thru igb3 in a LAGG conf, but igb1 is actually disconnected (Physically). Other than that, I am unsure what the issue might be. Sorry.

thanks, What should I check or how to determine the problem? i am using two intel I350-T2 NIC. one nic two interface for pppoe wan, and one for lagged to LAN switch.

Typically when you see counters for packets not forwardable in netstat, it is because you are missing a route to localhost.

@yon-0 Hard to say without a visual, but I will ask this : If the issue does happen on 2.4.4p3, there is a possibility, albeit small, that there may be a bug in the PPPoE client.
