Extreme poor performance
-
I noted that with the last snaps the wan-performance is extremely poor. Doing a speedtest (downloading a 1GB-file directly from my ISPs server) noted that max DL is nearby 900k/sec. Due to the fact that I have a 100MBit-line this is not so great.
After a reboot the speed is as usual (between 70 and 100M/sec), but after 10 or 15 min of use the speed falls down again to the 900k/sec. Logs show nothing.
It seems to be (to my opinion) that poor performace is going with the frequent crashes reported here (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,23119.0.html). When the crashes went away some days ago, speed was great, but now i have again lots of crashes and speed is poor. Is there anything I can do to provide more info? I'm a bit lost with this.
Is there anybody outside experiencing something similar?
-
No such problems here, but have you checked the usual things: See interface errors anywhere? Tried disabling checksum offloading? anything unusual in the logs?
-
As i said, there is nothing in the logs. Tried with checksum offloading on/off without any change.
No interface errors too.Update:
When a download begins, on dashboard Gateways wan shows "gathering data", RRD-graphs Quality shows packet-loss and then nothing more.
Apinger doesn't show up in the log. Log is comletely quiet. No entry apart from the "normal" entries. Absolutely nothing.
First download of a 1GB-file begins with 8,5M/sec, slowing down to at last 5 M/sec. When starting the same file directly after, it begins with 1,5M/sec, slowing down rapidly to a nothing of 56k/sec. RRD (Quality) is empty. Say, no info is added.

What do nic stats show? Have you tried replacing the NIC (preferably with nic using different driver?)
-
Its a Dell 1750, no chance to change nic. It was good some days before, changed with the snap from 07. I had to update because of the PPPOE-problem. Don't know if there was a change in the driver. I don't think so. Its a broadcom (bge) driver.
How can i see the nic stats?
