I noticed that all dedicated devices in my network had a very low upload speed. On all of my virtual machines i had the full speed of my internet connection.
The problem was my network card (DeLOCK PCI Express Karte (89346)). This card doesn’t seem to support tso. If i had an intel card like my mate it would have worked instantly.
my card: DELOCK PCIe Gigabit LAN 2x
homeserver dedicated brlan - 40-60KB/s monitoring vm brlan e1000 - 550-560KB/s firewall vm brlan/brwan/brtsbot - 560-570KB/s workstation dedicated brlan - 40-60KB/s tsbot vm brtsbot e1000 - 550-560KB/s
Solution: ethtool -K p1p1 gro off tso off ethtool -K brlan gro off tso off
tso on (TCP segmentation offload) – datenpakete werden in der netzwerkkarte verarbeitet statt in der cpu
gro on (generic receive offload)
So it’s not always pfsense‘ fault 😉
