OpenBSD: PF queues break the 4 Gbps barrier
https://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260319125859In the days when even cheap consumer hardware ships with 2.5G ports, this number seems weirdly low. Does this mean that basically nobody is currently using OpenBSD in the datacentre or anywhere that might be expecting to handle 10G or higher per port, or is it just filtering that's an issue?
I'm not surprised that the issue exists as even 10 years ago these speeds were uncommon outside of the datacentre, I'm just surprised that nobody has felt a pressing enough need to fix this earlier in the previous few years.

Can pf actually shape at speeds above 4 gbps?
It’s still single threaded. PF in FreeBSD is multithreaded. For home wan’s I’d be using openBSD. For anything else FreeBSD.
