I'm running an OPNSense VM (tried with pfSense with same results) and I've been trying to troubleshoot a discrepancy in speed tests with this VM, I'm on a gigabit symmetrical connection and connected to the gateway directly I get full 940/940Mbps, in the VM however I get 940Mbps upload and 700-900Mbps download. All hardware offload settings are disabled for both the VM and the host.
I'm using VirtIO network adapters and multi-queue is configured and recognized by the VM, however, the only piece I can't still troubleshoot/resolve is the TX/RX queue size as seen by the VM:
After some research it looks like the default values for txd and rxd should be 256, for both. Multi-queue is set to 4 this is set correctly correctly, however, I can't find a way to force the queue size.
These parameters are set in the host:
Still the VMs are setting 256 and 128 only. Any thoughts?
