Network Speed Help [SAB via Freenas 11.2 Jail ]
Posted: May 29th, 2021, 4:23 pm
I've seen a lot of similar posts but am hoping for some advice on where my issue might be. Currently running SAB via Freenas 11.2 Jail and have been on different flavors of this platform for years. Running all server grade hardware (Xeon E3 CPU, SuperMicro X10SLL-F MB, 32G ECC memory, SSD cache drive, large SATA raid etc). I have 1.2 gigabit from my ISP running to my personal docsis 3.1 modem which cables directly to my mesh router and a gigabit switch. My server is hardwired to my switch so no additional hops. I know I will never get 100% of my ISP speed but have noticed some strange inconsistencies between running speed tests on my jail CLI compared to the bandwidth report build into SAB. Here is what I'm seeing:
SAB Version 3.2.1
Used cache0 B (0 articles)
System performance (Pystone)151880 FreeBSD-11.2-STABLE-amd64…
Download folder speed271.4 MB/s
Complete folder speed270.9 MB/s
Internet Bandwidth11.5 MB/s (92 Mbps)
And this is what I get from my CLI:
Retrieving speedtest configuration...
Testing from Comcast Cable ...
Retrieving speedtest server list...
Retrieving information for the selected server...
Hosted by CenturyLink
Testing download speed................................................................................
Download: 494.93 Mbit/s
Obviously there is a big difference here. I thought maybe the built in test was single thread but when I test at the CLI single I still get over twice the speed I'm seeing in SAB. I've played with article cache a bunch, tried different usnet providers and I still only seem to get around 50MB/s max. I know in prior builds I was consistently over 100MB/s. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
