I have Proxmox on it with P-Unlimited CHR. One 2.5 Gb/s nic as WAN and one 10 Gb/s nic as LAN.
No firewall at all and CPU barely hits 6% during tests.
I can run iperf3 through this MS-01 from my PC connected at 10 Gb/s to my NAS connected also at 10 Gb/s and get a steady 2.5 Gb/s both ways (limited by intel I226 on WAN at 2.5 Gb/s)
I can run Openspeedtest from my PC to the NAS and also get a steady 2.5 Gb/s up and down.
But, if I try to copy something from my NAS through Samba, downloading is limited somehow to 40-60 MB/s while uploading from my PC to NAS can reach 200 MB/s.
I have to mention that if I plug my PC directly in the switch and bypass this second router, I get 10 Gb/s on Samba, with the same cables.
A small diagram showing my basic setup I know it is non-sense to test Samba over a WAN link, but at this stage I am just trying to understand the limits and quirks of this MS-01. Also learning Proxmox because F Broadcom.
So I guess the question is: what could limit the download speed to 40-60 MB/s in this scenario? MTU is 1.500 everywhere.
