Hello

I have very bad performance running iperf3 to my DEC740 or via the DEC740.
I achieve only about 700 Mbit and also have a ton of retransmissions:

ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  5]   0.00-10.00  sec   835 MBytes   700 Mbits/sec  45900             sender

What tuneables should I set for my DEC740?
Hardware offloading in Interface settings are all disabled.

Thanks!

Hello together

I am running a DEC740 and went to 10G via fiber for my internal network.
Running with MTU 1500 I get about 1.4 Gbit in both directions between my OPNsense and my Server.
Running with MTU 9000 I get almost 10 Gbit but only in one direction? On the other direction I get 0 Mbit.

Here are my iperf results.
First is my server as iperf host and second is my OPNsense as iperf host

iperf Done.

But my network seems working fine.
What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for any hint.

Hi together

I am new to OPNsense but really like what I see so far  :)
I bought a DEC740 recently and are in the setup process currently.

How do I get information about what my hardware is capable und what the best settings are?

For example:

• Can I use Hardware acceleration under System → Settings → Miscellaneous ?
• Should I enable the 2 GB swap file?
• What are the best settings under Firewall → Settings → Advanced → Miscellaneous? What to pick for Firewall optimization an max. Table entries?
• Am I able to enable Hardware CRC in the Interface Settings? What about Hardware TSO and LRO

Are there any other useful settings I should choose for my device?

I am not able to find this out from the specs of the DEC740 and not from the documentation. So maybe one of you can help e out?

Thank you very much :)
