Hi! A few days ago I got my home internet connection upgraded to 8/1 Mbit/s, and then I realised that my OpenBSD router and firewall wasn't able to work that fast. I have used TPTEST (tptest.sourceforge.net) to measure the available bandwith and got the following results:
TPTEST running on Linux workstation directly connected to cable modem: TCP download 8 Mbit/s, TCP upload 1 Mbit/s UDP download 8 Mbit/s, UDP upload 1 Mbit/s TPTEST running on OpenBSD router directly connected to cable modem: TCP download 2 Mbit/s, TCP upload 1 Mbit/s UDP download 2 Mbit/s, UDP upload 1 Mbit/s TPTEST running on Linux workstation connected to OpenBSD router: TCP download 1 Mbit/s, TCP upload 1 Mbit/s UDP download 2 Mbit/s, UDP upload 1 Mbit/s So my old OpenBSD router is clearly not up to handling my new 8 Mbit/s downlink speed. Could anyone here help guiding me to find out the worst hardware (and maybe software) bottlenecks in my system? I have attached the output of dmesg. Any tips on what the most important things to investigate are? Is there any other information I should post?
