      traffic shaping

      Hi,

      by default it's not necessary "traffic shaping", I don't even understand why this ISP wrote this
      .......imagine that on every subscriber endpoint, such things should be applied
      -many SOHO devices do not even know this feature!!!

      the type of Cisco device (ISP CPE) is important, you can find the type on the equipment data label
      important because, we need to know the maximum port speed

      -can you send a "prtsc" about the status of the WAN interface?

      I am familiar with APU (pcEngines) MOBOs
      it can last a long time, but we find the bottleneck

      Cats bury it so they can't see it!

          I was curious about MTU
          (but this (1492) is okay because PPPoE)

          I suggest the following:
          prepare a desktop / laptop computer and connect directly to Cisco stuff (Cisco - Cat5e (minimum) - laptop / desktop)

          set up your PPPoE connection and let's see what other values you get
          please use these measurement options:
          https://www.nperf.com/en/

          or
          https://fast.com/
          (personally i don't like speedtest net)

          this will filter out the possibility of a pfSense issue
          the type (Cisco) is needed to see the issue of negotiating automatic speeds on ports

          we are waiting for this data (Cisco) and test results (direct PPPoE)

            Hi,

            sorry for my late responce, ik had to pick a moment i could disconnect internet for a moment :)

            the cisco is an: Cisco ASR920

            when i disconnect the pfsense and connect my laptop i'm getting the following speedtest results:

            up 87,27 down 71,73

            i did a few and all results were around 80/90

              I understand, the family can be dangerous.....๐Ÿ˜‰

              • if you can wait a while, I'm looking for an old APU4d4 tomorrow and I will send the exact NIC tuning settings

              I think this will help

              BTW:
              @jacquesh "the cisco is an: Cisco ASR920"

              do you really have a Cisco unit like this?
              (this is not a typical ISP CPE device)

                Hi, yes that would be great.

                and yes that is really the cisco we got from our ISP :)

                  seems a bit high for pppoe. pppoe overgaed is more then 8 bytes, counting down from the default 1500.

                  Probably not related :

                  ec4d0c51-1610-4bce-85c9-cd3e497270e9-image.png

                  127.0.0.1 is ok.
                  The rest is not needed or even not advisable before full DNS knowledge is acquired.

                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                  Edit : and where are the logs ??

                    In response to @Gertjan's suggestion, for safety, check the correct MTU using the following method.
                    (I note: 1492 is usually (good) enough for PPPoE.)
                    For example: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/190/

                    BTW:
                    Correct your DNS settings (currently pointing to localhost)
                    it is very likely that your trivially low UP speed is not caused by these,
                    but do your best, before we state this.

                    find the best DNS server(s) for your location, use this:
                    https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

                    or

                    use the Unbound with the 13 root servers
                    https://www.iana.org/domains/root/servers

                    (before setting up your DNS system
                    find out on the internet, which DNS solution you would choose for privacy, etc.)

                    I know that, wasn't your original problem this, but in the meantime, these also came up.๐Ÿ˜‰

                      just tested the correct mtu size. 1464 is the last good reply, add 28. so it should be 1492.

                      we are using an external dns filter. that is the reason it is configured this way.

                        please give me some time and I will start the APU4d4 which I found in the warehouse
                        and I will send tweaks

                        maybe that will solve the issue

                            just added this to loader.conf of shoeld it really be loader.conf.local? (i have to create it then?) and rebooted.

                            i added the rules from the screenshot. im on bios 4.0.7. i go and try to update this later. (hope tomorrow)

                            disabled hardware offloading.

                            for now upload is still the same.

                              *not loader.conf as it will be overwritten during OS update
                              you have to create it (just SSH into the box (WinSCP, Putty, etc.)
                              /boot/loader.conf.local

                              82541397-d472-4a08-ad04-8323b8fa1cf9-image.png

                              and REBOOT*

                              the BIOS is very important, this is a very outdated BIOS this can also be a problem
                              (the upgrade is not easy due to the known USB problem of APU MOBOs but if I fail I will help)

                              important: halt the system wait until 60 sec or more, disconnect PSU wait...wait.. and start

                              *turn them all off: (TSO, LRO is not good for you, if you are a router, if you are an endpoint can help)

                              6bdfa074-6a43-4124-8bdd-f107c23c2936-image.png

                              REBOOT again!*
                              (This will take effect after a machine reboot or re-configure of each interface.)

                              +++edit:
                              don't forget System Tunable either
                              it is important to turn off flow control and EEE

                              "tryforward IPv4 and v6" can also be important, do it
