General Discussion / Re: Slow download speed with virtio nics
« on: February 15, 2016, 07:44:50 pm »
Just adding another data point....
I am having the same experience (throttled download speed (1-2mb), but normal upload speeds (8-10mb.). Normal download speed should be about 50mb on a good day - it's Comcast.
I am using the OPNsense-16.1-OpenSSL-cdrom-amd64.iso.bz2 image.
This is running on Citrix XenServer, 6.5, SP1, (patched through OCT'15, but nothing since looked to be NIC driver related) used a generic template (they don't have an OpenBSD template) to build the VM (4 cores, 1G RAM, 3 NIC's)
I tried OPNsense 16.1 and 15.7.18 with exact same results.
A pretty much stock install so far, had not yet started turning on any of the options/tools.
Disabled the 3 hardware offloads, no effect.
Installed the os-xen plugin, which was recognized by XenServer host as the 6.2.0 guest tools. Could not locate a 6.5.0 version of the guest tools that would install. Noticed that even without the os-xen plugin installed, had same results.
I am currently using a Linux (Fedora 20) iptables based firewall running on same Citrix XenServer host, and have been for some time without issue.
Thank you
Don
