Hi, I've setup a bridge over a 200Mb link, and everytime I turn ALTQ on, top shows interrupts at 99.2%. If I flush queue (pfctl -Fq), interrupt usage drop to 35% instantly. I've also noticed that only cpu0 is able to handle interrupts.
Is there a way to minimize interrupts usage in this configuration ? My pf.conf is: # $OpenBSD: pf.conf,v 1.34 2007/02/24 19:30:59 millert Exp $ ext_if="bnx0" int_if="bnx1" table <network-int> persist { 200.254.131.128/25 } table <redes-biz> persist file "/etc/pf.biz" set skip on lo set limit states 750000 scrub in altq on $int_if bandwidth 1000Mb hfsc queue { local, embratel } altq on $ext_if bandwidth 1000Mb hfsc queue { local, embratel } queue local bandwidth 100Mb hfsc queue embratel bandwidth 200Mb hfsc(ecn realtime 200Mb upperlimit 200Mb ) \ { Q-pri Q-icmp Q-vpn Q-biz Q-mail Q-http Q-ftp Q-def } queue Q-pri bandwidth 25Mb hfsc(realtime 15Mb linkshare 25Mb upperlimit 180Mb) priority 7 queue Q-icmp bandwidth 25Mb hfsc(realtime 15Mb linkshare 25Mb upperlimit 30Mb) priority 7 queue Q-vpn bandwidth 25Mb hfsc(realtime 15Mb linkshare 25Mb upperlimit 180Mb) priority 6 queue Q-biz bandwidth 25Mb hfsc(realtime 15Mb linkshare 25Mb upperlimit 180Mb) priority 6 queue Q-mail bandwidth 25Mb hfsc(realtime 15Mb linkshare 25Mb upperlimit 180Mb) priority 4 queue Q-http bandwidth 25Mb hfsc(realtime 15Mb linkshare 25Mb upperlimit 180Mb) priority 4 queue Q-ftp bandwidth 25Mb hfsc(realtime 15Mb linkshare 25Mb upperlimit 180Mb) priority 4 queue Q-def bandwidth 25Mb hfsc(default linkshare 25Mb upperlimit 128Mb) priority 0 block in log pass out antispoof quick for { lo $ext_if } pass in quick on lo0 no state ## Regras de merovingio -- bridge pass in on $ext_if proto tcp to ($ext_if) port ssh queue(local) pass in on $int_if queue(Q-def Q-pri) label "int-DEFA" pass in on $int_if proto icmp queue(Q-icmp ) label "int-ICMP" pass in on $int_if proto gre queue(Q-vpn ) label "int-VPN-gre" pass in on $int_if proto esp queue(Q-vpn ) label "int-VPN-esp" pass in on $int_if proto ah queue(Q-vpn ) label "int-VPN-ah" pass in on $int_if proto l2tp queue(Q-vpn ) label "int-VPN-l2tp" pass in on $int_if proto { tcp udp } to port { 500 4500 } queue(Q-vpn ) label "int-VPN-ipsec" pass in on $int_if proto { tcp udp } to port { pptp } queue(Q-vpn ) label "int-VPN-pptp" pass in on $int_if proto tcp to port { snmp } queue(Q-icmp Q-pri) label "int-ICMP-snmp" pass in on $int_if proto tcp to port { www } queue(Q-http Q-pri) label "int-HTTP" pass in on $int_if proto tcp to port { https } queue(Q-biz Q-pri) label "int-BIZZ-https" pass in on $int_if proto { tcp udp } to port { domain ntp } queue( Q-pri) label "int-PRII" pass in on $int_if to <redes-biz> queue(Q-biz Q-pri) label "int-BIZZ-redes" pass in on $int_if proto tcp to port { smtp pop3 imap 465 995 } queue(Q-mail q-pri) label "int-MAIL" pass in on $ext_if queue(Q-def Q-pri) label "ext-DEFA" pass in on $ext_if proto icmp queue(Q-icmp ) label "ext-ICMP" pass in on $ext_if proto gre queue(Q-vpn ) label "ext-VPN-gre" pass in on $ext_if proto esp queue(Q-vpn ) label "ext-VPN-esp" pass in on $ext_if proto ah queue(Q-vpn ) label "ext-VPN-ah" pass in on $ext_if proto l2tp queue(Q-vpn ) label "ext-VPN-l2tp" pass in on $ext_if proto { tcp udp } to port { 500 4500 } queue(Q-vpn ) label "ext-VPN-ipsec" pass in on $ext_if proto { tcp udp } to port { pptp } queue(Q-vpn ) label "ext-VPN-pptp" pass in on $ext_if proto tcp to port { snmp } queue(Q-icmp Q-pri) label "ext-ICMP-snmp" pass in on $ext_if proto tcp to port { www } queue(Q-http Q-pri) label "ext-HTTP" pass in on $ext_if proto tcp to port { https } queue(Q-biz Q-pri) label "ext-BIZZ-https" pass in on $ext_if proto { tcp udp } to port { domain ntp } queue( Q-pri) label "ext-PRII" pass in on $ext_if from <redes-biz> queue(Q-biz Q-pri) label "ext-BIZZ-https" pass in on $ext_if proto tcp to port { smtp pop3 imap 465 995 } queue(Q-mail q-pri) label "ext-MAIL" dmesg follows: OpenBSD 4.2 (GENERIC.MP) #1378: Tue Aug 28 10:48:58 MDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 3488907264 (3327MB) avail mem = 3373899776 (3217MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.4 @ 0xcffbc000 (62 entries) bios0: vendor Dell Inc. version "1.3.7" date 03/26/2007 bios0: Dell Inc.
