Hi Eugene,

as I was not satisfied with the outcome here, I installed an ipfire linux
distrib on my APU2 to see what performance it can achieve versus the low
performance seen under Freebsd/opnsense. Same purely IP-routing based testing
as I did with opnsense, as I dont have the knowledge to build a proper PPPoE
simulator lab.

Well, using ipfire I could reach 850-900 Mbit/sec on single-flow iperf, that
was only possible with multi-flow iperf under opnsense. Even the load was much
lighter in contrast with opnsense: according to TOP it was 70% idle during
900Mbit single-flow iperf session. So I think this whole thread about
RSS-locked-to-single-core is either incorrect, or linux kernel does some magic
much much better than Freebsd.

So I no longer know whom to believe anything in this topic...
