Comment on PSA: Flow Control and Port Buffers are key to fix poor uplink speeds
Smash@lemmy.self-hosted.site 1 week agoYeah, two whole days of work 😅 The alternative would have been to install a dedicated 1GbE NIC in the servers again. The tunables and proxmox settings probably don’t do anything now but maybe in the future when I finally get FTTH. I read a lot about OPNsense performance optimization and these tweaks shouldn’t hurt anything, so might as well apply them for good measure.

Well, seems like it was time well spent in any case.
If you have classic upstream buffer bloat, there are a couple of traffic shaping algorithms (cake and fq_codel) that work really well with the majority of competent routers, including opnsense/pfsense.
Traffic shaping is definitely a can of worms, but fun to learn.

Yeah… well spent… not that I could just have, you know, used the ISP router and spend my time on other things ^^
I would rather not introduce any more complexity into the routing than needed. I just hope my current setup allows the networking gear to automatically adjust itself for best performance (which it now does).
