Hardware and Performance / Poor upload trough Firewall
« on: September 20, 2023, 01:57:30 am »
Hello community,
We have a strange bandwidth problem.
We are using this https://www.deciso.com/product-catalog/dec2640/ appliance on a symmetrical 200Mbit/s internet access.
We have noticed poor upload speed for TCP single stream connections through the firewall.
OPNsense version is OPNsense 23.7.4-amd64
I have run some iperf tests. The setup is simple.
iperf server <--> router <--> opnsense <--> clients
From firewall to internet I get full speed with ~190Mbit/s.
Clients to the firewall also looks good at ~900Mbit/s.
But clients to internet only gets between 20 and 50Mbit/s in upload. No active shaper or IDS on the firewall. WAN and LAN are each separate interfaces on the firewall, no VLAN. Hardware features for the interfaces are disabled.
I have tried different clients in our LAN, always with the same result.
Download looks normal.
In a test with several streams, the full bandwidth comes through in total. In addition, UDP connections do not seem to be affected.
iperf direct from the firewall to internet
iperf single stream tcp from client to firewall
iperf single stream tcp from client to internet
iperf with 10 connections from client to internet
iperf with udp single stream from client to internet
