Just got my opnsense box setup and the basics running. Ready to add traffic shaping. My internet connection is 300/100 fibre over provisioned to 325/120.
Before adding any pipes or queues, I do speed tests and consistently hit the 325/120, no problems. So I setup two pipes: download at 315Mbs and upload at 105Mbps.
Setup rules for all the vlans to put traffic in these pipes with no queues configured yet. Do a speed test and download consistently tops out at 250Mbps. Upload does 103-104 consistently. Decrease the download pipe to 150Mbps and speed test again and get the 149-150 no problem. Same at 190Mbps.
So it's looking like my hardware isn't able to keep up at ~300Mbps using the traffic shaper. Is the shaper that resource intensive? I'm running opnsense on a Zotac CI323 box with 4GB RAM. Not a beast by any stretch, but is it that inadequate to handle traffic shaping or am I just configuring something incorrectly?
