      Hi Team,

      I use pfSense v2.3 release for my local network (about 350 users connected with 2 LAN and 3 WAN interfaces hosted in a vmware).
      Since thursday, I have the below message in my pfSense Gateway's tab log:
      dpinger GWNAME IP_ADDRESS: sendto error: 55
      dpinger GWNAME IP_ADDRESS: sendto error: 64

      My bandwidth is limited on 4Mbps even if I have 15Mbps allowed from my ISP. I don't know why! (There are no bandwidth limitation in pfSense )

      Did someone have the same issue?

      Regards,

      Andrès

          jyrandrianiaina: Which type of NICs are you using? If e1000/em, it's better to use vmxnet3. Not that e1000 should hurt anything, but switch to vmxnet3 if you're not on that already. That'll also give us a better idea of the source of the issue.

              Switching to vmxnet3, my internet connexion look like stable. There are no error in the gateway's tab log.

                Same as the above appeared for me when upgrading from 2.3.1_? to most recent 2.3.1_p5 (stable).
