carp bug
-
i've came across a very strange bug.
scenario :
2 pfsense with ha cluster across 2 separate esxi hosts, everything works normal except the upload.
after a lot of investigation, it has something to do with the existence of a carp vip on that lan.the problem : upload is always half of what it should.
the second i delete the carp vip, the upload goes back to normal. even if i'm not using it. even if i'm testing directly from the fw'ls IP. the very fact that the carp vip is there, slows down the upload to half, in any case.i even setup 2 new opnsense firewall, and even didn't create a cluster, i just set them up for comparison. and there also, the second i add the carp for the lan, upload is half. the wan carp by the way, is not generating the problem.

layer 2 bug?
esxi bug?-Rico
-
@Rico for the fact that it's related to the existence of the lan carp vip, i'd say a pfsense bug
-
If you hit the same on OPNsense it could be ralated to FreeBSD in general, not pfSense.
But I think more people would report this problem then...-Rico
-
@Rico yeah, you're right. but it's a very strange problem. any ideas what to go look for?

Start the usual elimination process ;-)
Try other vNICS, other hardware (best pfSense bare metal), try another Switch, and so on.-Rico
