Howdy, I've been wondering why the latency is higher in FreeBSD's PPPoE implementation. From what I've seen, ping times via my gateway box are significantly higher than what friends are seeing with dedicated router boxes (ie Linksys) on the same DSL provider. Here's what I'm seeing to the other end of my connection, no other meaningful traffic going on: --- 65.92.109.1 ping statistics --- 100 packets transmitted, 100 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 53.982/65.063/102.373/7.478 ms Here's a ping on my friend's machine (Mac ping, sorry for lack of precision): Packets out/in/bad/%loss = 64/64/0/0.0 Round Trip Time (ms) min/avg/max = 14/24/59 My box should be fine cpu-wise, it's a Celeron/300, and isn't doing anything else. The card PPPoE is running over is an ISA 10BaseT D-Link card using the ed(4) driver, if that makes any difference. I track STABLE with this box, it's currently at: FreeBSD katana.apt.samurai.com 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #13: Sun Jun 24 01:43:39 EDT 2001 Any thoughts? I can live with this, the connection is rock solid and has been for over a year now, just curious as to why. Apologies if this has come up before, I searched the list archives and the bug list.
