OK,
Thanks very much for the suggestions, I'll trey them and will let you know.
Of course it will take me about a month to try them all, because as I
said we only have the high load once a week, so it's the only chance for
me to test it.

Hi,
thanks for answering,
I'm using 1.2.2 ( it scares me a bit to use a non-stable version in
production).
It's stable. See:

I do realize it might be a problem with FreeBSD rather than pfSense,
especially that I saw a couple of related posts on the net(without
solution).
There's no "might be", it is.
What I can't understand is how come a lot of people here talking about
pushing 300-400kpps, and I can't even do 20?! I believe my hardware is up to
at least 200, don't you think?
Yes, though other people in certain circumstances have hit this same
thing with stock FreeBSD, and it doesn't seem there was ever any
resolution to those, as you said.
I suspect these scenarios are more about something to do with the
motherboard, or a BIOS quirk, or something of that nature than the
NICs themselves. Other things I would try:
- Reset BIOS to its defaults
- Upgrade the BIOS
- try a completely different piece of hardware, even with the same NICs
Unless you tell me it's all related to a kind of traffic, meaning that a
website with a lot of small files (no more than 500KB) has hit the limit
here.
No, that's irrelevant. It has an impact on your pps rates, but you're
well under what you should be able to push.
