        @Jimbohello can you please run "sysctl hw.em" and "sysctl dev.em" in the command prompt and paste the result.

              @Jimbohello I just assume you haven't tried this before so i will list the following out in simple steps:

              • go to Diagnostics / Edit File

              • press browse and find boot/loader.conf

              • add .local so you get the string "/boot/loader.conf.local" and press save

              • press browse then find and click on loader.conf.local

              • delete the commands within loader.conf.local and add the following:
                hw.em.eee_setting="0"
                hw.em.rx_process_limit="-1"
                hw.em.txd="2048"
                hw.em.rxd="2048"
                net.link.ifqmaxlen="4096"

              • hit save and reboot

                on a limiter of 799 i can same as yesterday so close to 735
                so no change !
                up to date the queue lenght 100 was the best tunning
                can you please provide fast explanation on these Tuning you provide !
                i know that *.local usually will load the *.conf and override.
                But what are these tunning ??
                THANK'S

                    Try and keep a download running for some minutes and check monitoring you might have the correct limitation but the speedtest are not taking overhead into consideration.
                    Need to get back to you on those settings, it's time for some sleep :)

                      Found a couple of links that explains what the following does:

                      hw.em.eee_setting
                      https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?em(4)

                      hw.em.rx_process_limit
                      hw.em.rxd
                      hw.em.txd
                      net.link.ifqmaxlen
                      https://calomel.org/freebsd_network_tuning.html
                      look under local.conf and just ignore that he uses an Intel nic which uses the igb driver instead of the em driver.

                        i look at the link you send me
                        hw.em.eee_setting="0"
                        mean that energy is enabled
                        to be at full (no Energy Efficient Ethernet) always should it be disable =1
                        to force the nic to be at maximum !??

                          @Jimbohello Didn't take notice of that, but you can give it a try and change it back to see if it makes a difference. But so far it seems that a lot of people have misunderstood that one if "1" is disable, i wouldn't know since i don't use the em driver and therefore haven't tested it.

                            https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?em(4)

                             hw.em.eee_setting
                                 Disable or	enable Energy Efficient	Ethernet.  Default 1 (dis-
