      Hi Everyone,

      Can anyone please tell me what throughput they are getting with pfsense on Xen, and what network card drivers they have chosen to use?

      Initially, I started off by doing PCI passthrough for my WAN NIC, and used e1000 emulation for LAN. Speed was capping at 90Mbp/s.
      When both were set to e1000, speed was capping at 30Mbp/s
      When LAN was set to e1000 and WAN was set to default (rl8xxx), speed was capping at 71Mbp/s.

      I wish I could have stayed with the first option, however my link speed is only detected at 10Mbps unless I take the cable out and in 2 or 3 times. Any tips on the above? In some cases, to get the above speed, I had to enable "device polling" in pfsense

      Thanks
