Hello. Ive got a few openbsd firewalls set up with carp and pfsync running on them.
Anyway, basically any transfer that goes thru the firewalls is slow, as in 1megabyte per second. I notice that while the transfer is happening, in top, I see the % of interrupt go to around 80%, and any other network traffic that needs to pass thru the firewall goes very slow too. I am running pf, but no traffic shaping. I cant really turn pf to test without it right now. Here is a dmesg of one of the firewalls: OpenBSD 3.9 (GENERIC) #617: Thu Mar 2 02:26:48 MST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel Celeron ("GenuineIntel" 686-class, 128KB L2 cache) 398 MHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR real mem = 100245504 (97896K) avail mem = 84230144 (82256K) using 1249 buffers containing 5115904 bytes (4996K) of memory mainbus0 (root) bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+(f5) BIOS, date 11/24/98, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xec700 pcibios0 at bios0: rev 2.1 @ 0xec700/0x3900 pcibios0: PCI IRQ Routing Table rev 1.0 @ 0xf74f0/112 (5 entries) pcibios0: PCI Interrupt Router at 000:20:0 ("Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ISA" rev 0x00) pcibios0: PCI bus #2 is the last bus bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0x8000 0xe0000/0x8000! cpu0 at mainbus0 pci0 at mainbus0 bus 0: configuration mode 1 (no bios) pchb0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x03 ppb0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0 "Intel 82443BX AGP" rev 0x03 pci1 at ppb0 bus 1 vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "ATI Rage Pro" rev 0x5c wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) wsdisplay0: screen 1-5 added (80x25, vt100 emulation) fxp0 at pci0 dev 10 function 0 "Intel 8255x" rev 0x05, i82558: irq 11, address 00:50:8b:49:f3:dd inphy0 at fxp0 phy 1: i82555 10/100 PHY, rev. 0 ppb1 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "DEC 21152 PCI-PCI" rev 0x03 pci2 at ppb1 bus 2 fxp1 at pci2 dev 4 function 0 "Intel 8255x" rev 0x05, i82558: irq 11, address 00:50:8b:66:46:62 inphy1 at fxp1 phy 1: i82555 10/100 PHY, rev. 0 fxp2 at pci2 dev 5 function 0 "Intel 8255x" rev 0x05, i82558: irq 11, address 00:50:8b:66:46:63 inphy2 at fxp2 phy 1: i82555 10/100 PHY, rev. 0 pcib0 at pci0 dev 20 function 0 "Intel 82371AB PIIX4 ISA" rev 0x02 pciide0 at pci0 dev 20 function 1 "Intel 82371AB IDE" rev 0x01: DMA, channel 0 wired to compatibility, channel 1 wired to compatibility wd0 at pciide0 channel 0 drive 0: <FUJITSU MPC3064AT> wd0: 16-sector PIO, LBA, 6149MB, 12594960 sectors wd0(pciide0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, Ultra-DMA mode 2 pciide0: channel 1 disabled (no drives) uhci0 at pci0 dev 20 function 2 "Intel 82371AB USB" rev 0x01: irq 11 usb0 at uhci0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0 at usb0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered piixpm0 at pci0 dev 20 function 3 "Intel 82371AB Power" rev 0x02: SMI iic0 at piixpm0 "unknown" at iic0 addr 0x18 not configured admtemp0 at iic0 addr 0x4c: adm1032 isa0 at pcib0 isadma0 at isa0 pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60/5 pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot) pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0 pcppi0 at isa0 port 0x61 midi0 at pcppi0: <PC speaker> spkr0 at pcppi0 npx0 at isa0 port 0xf0/16: using exception 16 fdc0 at isa0 port 0x3f0/6 irq 6 drq 2 fd0 at fdc0 drive 0: 1.44MB 80 cyl, 2 head, 18 sec biomask fffd netmask fffd ttymask ffff pctr: 686-class user-level performance counters enabled mtrr: Pentium Pro MTRR support dkcsum: wd0 matches BIOS drive 0x80 root on wd0a rootdev=0x0 rrootdev=0x300 rawdev=0x302 Any ideas?
