      I'm running into issues with super high packet loss while two clients are using a large amount of bandwidth. In the attached photo a continuous speed test is being run at 200mbps down and 2 up with a second client running a speedtest from speedtest.net starting at the 17:49:21 mark. Any ideas what could be causing this? Streamlabs and call of duty have both reported up to 50% packet loss. I have google fiber and have already checked with their support about other reports of this anywhere near. i7 4770, 8gb ram, 4 port intel, v22.05.

        How are you running the first test?

        What is the available claimed WAN bandwidth?

        Are you using any traffic shaping?

            Are you running that as TCP or UDP? It's hard to say from their website but it looks like it's UDP by default.
            That hardware should pass that without any difficulty at all. It could probably pass >5Gbps.
            I'd be amazed if this is not a restriction in the WAN some where. If you connect a client to the WAN directly do you see the expected 1Gbps with no loss?

            Does pfSense show packet loss in the WAN monitoring?
