I purchased a HUNSN RJ38 and I can't seem to get full speed out of the NICs. Most every connection only gives me 1.6Gbps. I'm using 2 PCs with 10Gbe NICs to test with. The ports link at 2.5Gbps but I don't get those speeds. CPU usage is fine. I've tried running Windows on the HUNSN and pfSense to route the iperf between the 2 PCs. All the same. Anyone else having difficulties getting their units to hit the full 2.5Gbps? Any ideas on tweaks? I've contacted HUNSN and they instructed me to enable Turbo, but it comes on by default.
I've also done some performance testing to see the balance of power/speed of the CPU. If anyone wants to look it over I've posted my numbers
here in the pfSense forums. I'll update it as I do more. The short of it is that ST maxes at 7W and MT maxes at 9W. 10W was slightly faster and anything higher slowly decreased performance (at least from a Passmark standpoint).
PL1- Default (6) = Passmark MT/ST = 4559/1854
PL1-7 = Passmark MT/ST = 5153/2095
PL1-8 = Passmark MT/ST = 5617/2084
PL1-9 = Passmark MT/ST = 6009/2083
PL1-10 = Passmark MT/ST = 6118/2081
PL2 was set to 0 and showed 25. That was default and I didn't change it.
