Performance drop after upgrade 2.5.2 to 2.6.0
-
After upgrading from 2.5.2 to 2.6.0 I have a huge performance drop of throughput of the firewall.
E.g. on my WAN interface it drops from >300mbit to 3mbit.
The upgrade itself runs without any errors or warning. Disabling different services dindt change anything on performance.
CPU usage is around 3-5%, ram and harddisk usage below 50%
Going back to 2.5.2 imediatly solves issue.
I have done now the upgrade two times with same result. Has anybody simliar issues?System is running in a VM on a hyper-V host. Probably something changed related to networking stack causing issues with virtual netwok card.

Go read through this thread, and you should find your solution: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/169884/after-upgrade-inter-v-lan-communication-is-very-slow-on-hyper-v.
It is an issue with the RSC setting in the Hyper-V vSwitch being incompatible with FreeBSD 12.3.
Here is a specific post from that long thread showing a fix that works for most: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/169884/after-upgrade-inter-v-lan-communication-is-very-slow-on-hyper-v/37.

@bmeeks Thanks a lot for pointing me to that thread, dont know why I didnt found that on my own, sorry.
Good to see that my guest was not to bad ;-) Will try in next days and hope that it will work for me, otherwise I stay on 2.5.2 for a while. -
I've had a lot of problems with Hyper-V virtualizing firewall, the performance of Endian Firewall on it is poor, as well as problems with pfSense and other things.
The ones I had the best results were VMWare and Proxmox, but since I hate VMWare (personal taste), Proxmox became my main virtualization tool! Nowadays with Proxmox Backup Server and the great adoption of KVM by several market players over proprietary solutions, after Citrix mistakes about XenServer, Proxmox has become even better!
