      IPv6 Packet "Background noise" ?

      I monitor my WAN interface using SNMP and there is no background traffic going on.

          On my very small company network (30 devices) I can't follow the pace of this one :

          tcpdump -i eth0 -vv ip6
          

          where eth0 is my IPv6 WAN interface.
          A 1 KB / sec flux.

          try also

          systat -ifstat
          

          I've got a solution for you !

            @gertjan Have you got a mac computer? download peakhourapp.com and point that to your firewall :). Much easier than the above. It tells you exactly the speeds of your interfaces in real time.

              @Derelict I am certain I have come across some sort of bug in pfsense that when IPv6 is enabled, IPv4 performance decreases by about 2mb/s both up and down.

              I have done lots of testing tonight and Telstra's router does not suffer this issue, only pfsense.

              The moment I turn off IPv6, I get my full speeds back. The moment I turn on IPv6, I lose 2mb/s down and up on IPv4. I cannot replicate that on Telstra's router. I maintain full speeds on IPv4 with IPv6 enabled on Telstra's router.

              What additional information would you need to help isolate what this bug would be?
