Hi,
I still have the issue, if someone has any information about it, please
share it.
Thank you,
Tamas
The network cards are "Intel 82576 Dual-Port Gigabit" and as I saw on
the compatibility list, it is fully supported by Freebsd's igb driver.
One question to be asked is what kind (brand) of network cards are in
use and how well are they supported under BSD?

Subject: [pfSense] Packet filter maximum pps throughput
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
