https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D203856 ricsip@gmail.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ricsip@gmail.com --- Comment #5 from ricsip@gmail.com --- Is there any chance this defect will ever be fixed? As many Gigabit ISPs are gaining traction worldwide, FTTH is increasing exponentially continuously, = and many providers work through PPPoE (unfortunately), that will be a huge issue (if its not already)! The home-built SBC routers like PCEngines APU1/2/3 series are completely useless and simply waste of money if running Pfsense/OPNsense instead of any Linux-based distro. Unfortunately, you cannot expect resolution from the pfSense/OPNsense guys, if the issue is the combination of underlying Freebs= d OS + Intel NIC driver.=20 The Quad-core 1Ghz AMD CPU (or similar in such boards) becomes obviously a bottleneck if only 1 core is forced to process the entire 1Gbit traffic, wh= ile the other 3 cores are sitting idle 90+ % most of the time. Properly sharing= the load among the other 3 cores it would perform perfectly fine, so no real ne= ed to buy a server-grade hardware for a firewall/router-only box that eats 20 times more electricity, and produces infinitely more noise (SBC has no FAN). Or if you see that this issue will not be solved in the foreseeable future (like say until 13.0), at least make this limitation visible in various pla= ces in your manual (ex. list it as a defect in the "igb" driver manual, list it= as a defect in the MPD5 manual if using PPPoE, make note of this in the performance/routing section of the Handbook). Pfsense/OPNsense should act similarly, but that subject to their devs. Thanks for your support. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
