Hello, looking for any insight on Receive Side Scaling with iPFire? Are tweaks done using the GUI or is this a CLI level of effort using the ETHTool?
Thank you!
no tweaks are needed because Linux scales RSS correctly to one connection per core using msi-x interrupt flow control and will not map a network device this way if the driver.and hardware doesn’t support it.
On BSD based systems, its a different story.

Dave, thanks for answering and this is cool. I came over from Opnsense recently, which is good, and I had tried IPFire in the past, but after a few hiccups with OPNSense, decided to try IPFire again. Major visual improvements and no nonsense organization of menus, and after playing with it a bit, things just made sense. Simple and powerful. Running latest IPFire developer on high end overkill bare metal. Also using RPZ, which works well too.
