Unfortunately there is no such option :(

Hello,

maybe now, after some time has passed, anybody has an idea? ;-)

Hello,

unfortunately the issue persists :( Bumping the thread, as I didn't find any solution thus far.

[Testing methodology and results:]

Hello everybody!

I am running openSense on OVH VPS (current offering name:  VPS vps2020-elite-8-8-160 ) which comes with 2 Gbps network throughput (as well as 8 vCores and 8GB of RAM). Running Debian live I get full 2 Gbps speed. In opnSense I get 1.2Gbps tops. The role of this instance is hosting a Wireguard end-node and proxy exposing some of my homelab services to the Internet. There is no IPS/IDP running.

Testing methodology and results:

1. speedtest utility installed from ookla repository
   Speedtest by Ookla

      Server: Nextmap - LeKloud - Paris (id: 33869)
         ISP: OVH SAS
Idle Latency:     6.82 ms   (jitter: 0.08ms, low: 6.68ms, high: 6.87ms)
    Download:  1009.36 Mbps (data used: 1.2 GB)
                 60.84 ms   (jitter: 49.77ms, low: 6.71ms, high: 435.52ms)
      Upload:  1191.78 Mbps (data used: 1.7 GB)
                 17.63 ms   (jitter: 2.73ms, low: 6.68ms, high: 39.55ms)
Packet Loss:     7.4%

2. iperf3 test with OVH iperf3 server

iperf Done.


Steps taken so far:

1. disabled Spectre and Meltdown mitigation as per the docs
2. disabled hardware offloding as per the docs
3. setting tunables:

net.isr.maxthreads = -1
net.isr.dispatch = deferred
net.isr.bindthreads = 1
net.isr.defaultqlimit = 2048
net.inet.rss.enabled = 1

as per many blog posts

My target:
to have the same (well, I won't complain if its better) performance as Debian (full 2Gbps throughput)

Additional data:
netstat -Q
loader.conf
pciconf -lv


I'm reaching out to openSense forums, as under live Linux distro performance is OK, hence I suspect it's not ISP fault.
Has anyone here dealt with similar issue before?
Do you have any tips or hints I might follow?

Regards,
Bretos
