PFSense on HyperV - max speeds?

[richiela]

I currently have setup that goes modem->switch->hyperv server->pfsense->(switch technically)->client.

If i set up my client to have a static IP and thus bypassing PFSense, i max out at the theoretical 100mbs…  If I get a DHCP'd address and NAT through the pfsense VM, i max out at around 60mbs.

I'm running 2.0.3 and my CPU is around 90% when operating at 60mbs

a) is there something i missed in configuration that is causing this problem? (nic driver?)
b) is there anything in hyperv I missed?
c) this looks like a virtualization problem not a pfsense problem?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks

did you download the pfsense .iso w/ the modified kernel for hyper-v?

i use this with no problem in 2008 and 2012 hyper-v
