21.7 Legacy Series / RSS on CL PPPoE
« on: November 04, 2021, 06:53:31 am »
So I somehow skipped the part about the new RSS feature not working with PPPoE and enabled it.
I'm seeing HUGE performance improvement.
Before:
After:
This is the same current release 21.7.4 kernel tested before without the tunable and after the tunable "net.inet.rss.enabled" set to value "1".
I'd like to know more about how it's not compatible with PPPoE because I'm inclined to leave it enabled with this improvement (edit: I did review this thread: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/4821 but it's all over the place in terms of "it works" vs "it doesn't/can't")
(note that the first test results are very consistent over the course of my use of opnsense on this centurylink fiber connection)
