I tested with iperf with the router, but through the router too. No difference, same results.

Tried with the --affinity switch on client side, the one core had about 30% load, seems not to be a bottleneck.
Cannot use --affinity on the server side, as its not my iperf server :-). But server side is from Init7, they have a very good reputation and also provide 25GBit/s internet.

Tested with "sysctl net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=16777216", unfortunately same result.

I have a bridge configured between two 1G LAN interfaces. 10G interfaces are not part of the bridge. Disabled the bridge and the two 1G LAN interfaces too. Did not make any difference.

I cannot get more than 5.63-6.0 Gbits/sec.

Could it depend on the SFP+ module I chose?
What else may it be?

I tested with

iperf3 -P 16 -c speedtest.init7.net -R -t 60
and got

[SUM]   0.00-60.00  sec  42.1 GBytes  6.03 Gbits/sec                  receiver
I found someone in a blog got about 7.5gbps https://blog.shade.sh/index.php/archive/2116

During iperf test, only 3-4 CPUs / Threads have load, the other do not have load.

What I think is, I have only 3 queues per interface, so load will not distribute over more CPUs / threads?

Can someone confirm their DEC750 has only 3 queues too?

However, these 3 CPUs / threads are about 40-50%, not 100% during measure.
So it might not be the bottleneck.

Hi guys

What I have:

• DEC750
• AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B (4 cores, 8 threads) 
• OPNsense 26.7.3_8-amd64, FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE-p3
• Ubiquiti SFP+ Modul UACC-CM-RJ45-MG (compatible according to https://docs.opnsense.org/hardware/sfp_compatibility.html)
• Intel X550-T1 in computer for testing (used driver installed from Windows 11 or newest driver from Intel 04.09.2025, 4.1.267.0)
• Cat6 cables

What I tuned according to https://docs.opnsense.org/troubleshooting/performance.html

• net.isr.bindthreads = 1
• net.isr.maxthreads = -1
• net.inet.rss.enabled = 1
• net.inet.rss.bits = 2

However, with https://www.speedtest.net/, iperf3 or with 32G filedownload from https://speedtest.init7.net/en.html, I only get 5-5.5gbps ...

I tested from computer to opnsense.
But also from computer through opnsense to speedtest.init7.net.

I tested with

Code Select Expand

iperf3 -c speedtest.init7.net
I tested in WSL but also in Windows 11 with iperf3, same result.

I doubt its on the performance of my internet provider ...

What am I missing that I do not get the 8.5-10gbps?

Looks good to me, no errors. But same result.

Config check is fine too.

monit -t
Control file syntax OK

I could confirm this in a freshyl installed OPNsense 26.1.4-amd64.

LoadAvg15 was not present in /usr/local/etc/monitrc already, looks broken after installation.

When deleting and re-adding LoadAvg5, LoadAvg5 is not configured anymore in /usr/local/etc/monitrc.
After restoring configuration, LoadAvg5 is present again in /usr/local/etc/monitrc.

However, without restoring configuration, LoadAvg5 is not written anymore into /usr/local/etc/monitrc.

May anybody test this with another OPNsense version?

Hi guys

When I delete LoadAvg15 in Services --> Monit --> Settings --> Service Tests Settings and add it again with the same definition in the Web UI, its not in /usr/local/etc/monitrc anymore.

If I modify LoadAvg1 or LoadAvg5 in the Web UI, changes are written in /usr/local/etc/monitrc as expected.

But whatever I do, I cannot add LoadAvg15 in Web UI, so it would be written in /usr/local/etc/monitrc again.

As I deleted LoadAvg5, I had the same problem. After restoring opnsense configuration, LoadAvg5 was present again and was updated in /usr/local/etc/monitrc.

However, I cannot see any differences between LoadAvg1, LoadAvg5 and LoadAvg15 in the config export:

How can I add LoadAvg15 in Web UI again, so its written to /usr/local/etc/monitrc? Unfortunately I do not have the backup anymore where LoadAvg15 worked ...

I tried to uninstall and install monit again on CLI, but this did not help.

Can anybody confirm the behaviour with monit?
