Title: Hyper-V OpnSense drops traffic
Post by: nikos on November 16, 2024, 06:00:42 PM
Hello everyone, I have install opnsense on a Hyper-V with 2 virtual nic and 3 CPU 3.2G intel i7 , accept my live TV channels that are from Vodafone via Internet everything else is working without issues, what i have notice is that the traffic keep dropping to zero and then pumps up again and keep doing that every few seconds, any idea if is something that I can adjust on the Virtual area or Opnsense will be great. Memory of the system is 10GB.

Thanks again.

Did you have that running as bare-metal installation before and it worked?

While such problems CAN be attributed to virtualisation, they do not HAVE to. You should try to chase the problem down to a single source.

IPTV is a beast because it sometimes is done via multicast, which brings its own problems. You could probably try if you experience multicast problems if you watch time-shifted shows - those are usually transmitted using unicast only, whereas live TV can use multicast to save traffic.
