10Gbit Ethernet will be so common in three years, a 1Gbps interface will be
only used for management interfaces.

Don’t assume that this is upper bound, but I get 800 MB/s on my Myricom card
and 600MB/s on my chelsio card, both on standard ethernet frame size, so
dominantly 1500 byte packets. I’m using these for data transfer, so I’m
measuring in MB not Mb. The switch you’re connecting to also matters.

My experience has been that intel nics are bad in the 10G space, especially
under BSD. I’ve had good luck with Myricom and Chelsio on BSD, though I
haven’t used either specifically on PFSense.

There is an optimization coming for pfsense. There is a new user space
routing daemon. netmap I think, that can reach line rate on 10G NICs (14.88
Mpps). There was a BSDCon that talked about a future version of pfsense
using this system. It uses ipfw, so there a bit a work to adapt it to
pfsense.

I can't point to a specific setup, but something to look at...
Your xeon is a sandy bridge with a max transfer rate of 5 GT/s, which is
very nice but the new Skylake cpus are 8 GT/s.
Also, there's always a possibility of equipment failure/setup
Hello PFSense Collective,
At the risk of sounding slightly 'cheap', does anyone (else) on this
list have experience of 'good combinations' of hardware for PFSense
appliances that will handle high-traffic levels and comments on
reasonable max-levels of throughput to expect from it?
