Hello
I recently upgraded my FTTH from 300 to 600 mb.
In order to do that I have to change from previous ISP to O2. O2 has and all in one device (Mitrastar GPT-2541GNAC) to handle phone and internet connection ( I have no IPTV) .
In OPNsense previous ISP connection was using DHCP, with O2 connection is PPPoE as all in one device is on bridge mode . VLAN for VoIP and Internet is still managed by all in one device.
VoIP is working without issues.
Opnsense is virtualized on a i5-2500s with 16gb with Vmware. VM for Opnsense has assigned 2 cores and 4 gb, net driver is vmxnet3.
I have connectivity and it is OK but it seems 600 mb is not possible.
If I try a speedtest from any site available on the internet I can see a message on freebsd screen :
"interrupt storm irq detected on irq266 : throttling interrupt source"
"interrupt storm irq detected on irq257 : throttling interrupt source"
vmstat -i shows those irqs are lan and wan
interrupt total rate
irq1: atkbd0 6 0
irq15: ata1 31467 1
irq17: mpt0 ehci0 85205 2
irq18: uhci0 82599 2
cpu0:timer 3082269 65
cpu1:timer 2862490 61
irq257: vmx0 2525995 54
irq266: vmx1 4007046 85
Total 12677077 269
Shutting down Opnsense and checking with a Dlink router model DIR-842 (PPPoE connection , same as Opnsense) , speedtest results are way better but the logging capabilities of this device are limited or I don't know how to check if device is really throttling or not
My understanding is that my computer hardware used in Opnsense exceeds D-link hardware specs, maybe I am wrong
Full specs
Intel i5-2500s

Intel Corporation 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (for Openmediavault omly)
3 TB Toshiba 7200 RPM HDD
320 GB Seagate 7200 RPM HDD
SSD 240 GB Kingston (boot drive)

Vmware player version 14.1.7
Does anyone have suggestions or ideas to avoid throttling?
Best regards,
