Hi,
I have pfsense 2.0.2 installed on a Supermicro server (8*Gbit ethernet +
Intel Xeon E5645 + 16GB ram). I wanted to test the maximum throughput
(in packets per second) of the firewall. There's a packet generator tool
(Mausezahn) and I can send udp packets with 600k pps to one of the
firewall's interfaces. In pfsense the packets go out on another physical
interface.
If I disable pf, all the packets go trough pfsense, 600k pps on the
incoming interface and 600 k pps on the outgoing. But if the pf is
enabled there seems to be a "limit", because the outgoing pps doesn't
go above 300k.
I'd like to ask if you have any information about tuning pf to a bigger
throughput, or do you have any experience about high pps?
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Tamas
