      Hi all,
      I was used to apply some tuning in order to optimize and increasing real performances on a pfsense box with 10 gb intel igb and ix nics.
      For instance, some of them are well described here:

      https://forum.netgate.com/topic/131645/10gbe-tuning-do-net-inet-tcp-recvspace-kern-ipc-maxsockbuf-etc-matter

      https://fasterdata.es.net/host-tuning/freebsd/

      and then, i set this parameter on my box:
      kern.ipc.nmbclusters 2032132
      kern.ipc.maxsockbuf 16777216
      net.inet.tcp.recvspace 131072
      net.inet.tcp.sendspace 131072
      net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max 16777216
      net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max 16777216
      net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_inc 65536
      net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_inc 65536
      net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen 2048
      net.route.netisr_maxqlen 2048
      dev.ix.0.fc 0
      dev.ix.1.fc 0

      So i would only to know if the info above still make sense today with the new pfsense 2.6 and freebsd 12.3.
      Thanks a lot for anyone has an answer.
