Hi Kanto,

The Edgerouter Lite will not push much more than 200mbps, so that will certainly be a bottleneck. The only reason the ERlite can push 1Gbit with stock firmware is because of proprietary cut through routing and other garbage -- what they dont tell you is that as soon as you enable QoS or any fancy firewalling (or even IPv6!) you lose that hardware acceleration and all forwarding/packet handling is done purely on the CPU.

With regards to speedtest-cli, those results are not accurate. The only way to be sure it to use something like tcpbench and test it against multiple locations (I usually spin up a few vultr VPS in various locations to confirm my speeds for example). Also, I'm sure you already know this, but you also should never run the benchmarking program on your router, as that will obviously skew the results.

Cheers,

Jordan

Hello all,
First post here. So please be indulgent ;-)). My question is about the 
speedtest-cli tool and the tests results with OpenBsd.Let me explain. I have 
multiple machines - physical and virtual - mix of BSD and Linux - and I am in a 
process of rebuilding my Firewall - obviously with OpenBSD/PF.
I have had an old Firewall using EdgeRouterLite which is broken now (no 
response from keyboard input using the console access - different story).With 
the ERL FW, when I increase  the ISP contract speeds from  200/30 Mbps to 
400/50 Mbps - doing a speed using any computer from the LAN did not pass over 
around ~220/35 Mbps.
The provider provided a Zyxel (if this matters) which "acts temporarily" as the 
Firewall + DHCP, etc. Any speedtest from Linux, Windows (son's game computer) got around 
the 400 Mbps/50Mbps or more.
The OpenBSD station (running 6.6) gets no more than 250 Mbps - the new Firewall 
I'm building shows the same results (see dmesg below) - no GUI for the 2 
machines - using speedtest-cli.
Following are the tests - machines - I ran with their respective results:
- Lenovo ThinkCenter - OpenBSD 6.6 - speedtest-cli : ~230/37 Mbps- Future 
Firewall (acting as workstation for the test)  - OpenBSD 6.6: around the same 
results- OpenBSD 6.6 running as VM on Manjaro Linux - around the same results
- Manjaro Linux (Physical) hosting the OBSD VM - reach around or more the 
~420/52 Mbps (using speedtest-cli and the Browser)- PFSense running as VM on 
Manjaro Linux - where I installed speedtest-cli - reach around the ~400/50 Mbps
Even they are not the same tools (iperf vs speedtest-cli) - running iperf3 
between OBSD vs OBSD/Linux and/or tcpbench, the tests display results close to 
960 Mbps.

So my question is can: I rely on the on the speedtest results? What else should 
I verify? Changing cables/direct connections to the current router were already 
done.

Thanks for any inputs and clarification.
Kanto
