Comment on PSA: Flow Control and Port Buffers are key to fix poor uplink speeds

I find that outside of chasing diminishing returns - the biggest boost to upload speeds generally involves getting service that isn’t from spectrum or comcast.
The speeds you are suggesting seem to imply you are on some cable carrier. Be consciously aware that there is frequently fine print stating up to on your meager upload allotment. You may be optimising against unseen forces.
It looks like you put in some effort on tuning which is awesome - and hopefully is helpful to some as a starting point… but from experience tuning is often very unique to each individual setup. That said: kudos on drawing that much out of your setup.
Yep, still on cable… vodafone to be exact. I should get FTTH this year, but also then only 1000 down/500 up for almost double the price (and it’s Telekom, so cloudflare services are unusable).
But the Problem I was facing was unique to the 10GbE Adapter. I used a 1GbE adapter before for years, without this issue.

Every home labber will eventually have that coming of age trial: ritual combat with the monster they have constructed. Glad to see you got the best of yours haha.
Yep, I moved away from having multiple 1GbE NICs to a single 10GbE NIC and creating the network virtually using VLANs and SDNs. This freed up some PCI-E slots and cables, but also spawned a new boss

True, but if it’s only the proxmox host with the problem, it’s probably not the cable carrier. The traffic from your different devices looks mostly the same to them.

And I ran a speedtest on the OpenWRT router itself to compare against. There, the upload speed also varies greatly between 35-55MBit/s, but that’s just classic cable fuckery (and still more than twice as much as OPNsense achieved in the beginning)
