Title: Hardware acceleration settings for DEC2700
Post by: TrixieBell on February 22, 2023, 09:36:56 pm

Hi Everyone,

I finally worked out enough of the kinks in my config for the dec2700 to put it into production, though I am currently only using the 1g ports (I think I have something configured incorrectly on my 10G switch but that's something a different post!).

Now what I really want to know is what performance tweaks I should do?

Hardware acceleration?
Hardware checksum offload?
Hardware TCP segmentation offload?
Hardware large receive offload?

Currently they are all off, as per the defaults, and on normal load its ticking along at about 2% cpu so I doubt any settings would after my real world performance but I just assume, since this is hardware spec'd and provided by OPNsense that some hardware acceleration should be possible!
I am seeing about double the ram usage that I had on my old OptiPlex setup but this still only adds up to 20% utilization so not concerning.

I am curious for the dec670.    is there an option to try for hardware acceleration?
