Mitigations removed I am near as damn it line speed.
910 down / 720 up
Can live with that for sure. See screenshots for top values. I assume they are looking as expected?
How do I sustain this? I have a custom grub.cfg file which I assume will be overwritten on updates and also the hardware interrupts file has been modified.
I am desperate to retire my edge devices as UI stopped caring about these some time back.
Hello @phillipmcmahon, I propose to create a feature request to disable mitigation from CLI. Please describe a feature request on the https://phabricator.vyos.net/
Yes. It looks pretty.
One more thing, Iām not 100% sure, but you can try to enable ntuple, maybe IRQ will work a bit better.
I can do yes, however can you explicitly state what exactly I should configure. Donāt want to get this wrong. 
Try to execute
sudo ethtool -K eth0 ntuple on
sudo ethtool -K eth2 ntuple on
Check it with command
sudo ethtool -k eth0 | grep ntuple
sudo ethtool -k eth2 | grep ntuple
On some Intel NICs it adds more balancing.
Enabled those.
retested and get 980d/820u. This changes slightly with every run of course.
I assume this is something I need to add every time I do an image upgrade?
What would I need to put in the vyos-postconfig-bootup.script file to retain as much as possible?
Yes @phillipmcmahon, you right, just add
sudo ethtool -K eth0 ntuple on
sudo ethtool -K eth2 ntuple on
to vyos-postconfig-bootup.script and it would be migrated when VyOS version will be updated.
Great, done that.
Saw already that the igb-options.conf fix is already in the latest rolling version!
So pleased I can squeeze 1gb/s from the APU2, meaning I donāt have to reinstate my Edgerouterā¦
Thanks for the awesome support.
Just applied a new rolling release. Back down to 550-600 mb/s.
Seems similar to my original setup even though all changes are in place on my router. Sadly I deleted the previous image already so cannot roll backā¦

Hello @phillipmcmahon,
Show me please an output cat /proc/cmdline and screenshot cat /proc/interrupts
Just performed another set of speed tests and the results are very inconsistent. Occasionally getting up to 900mb/s.
Output attached.

I donāt see disabled mitigation on your booted cmdline
Try to update initramfs
sudo /usr/sbin/update-initramfs -u
And check after reboot /proc/cmdline again
yep, had done that a few times.
just did one more time, rebooted.
output of /proc/cmdline is still missing the entry
cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/1.3-rolling-202010200146/vmlinuz boot=live quiet rootdelay=5 noautologin net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 vyos-union=/boot/1.3-rolling-202010200146 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200
Try to put this like an example, after boot=live:
menuentry "VyOS 1.3-rolling-202010200146 (KVM console)" {
linux /boot/1.3-rolling-202010200146/vmlinuz boot=live mitigations=off quiet rootdelay=5 noautologin net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 vyos-union=/boot/1.3-rolling-202010200146 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0
initrd /boot/1.3-rolling-202010200146/initrd.img
yep, just did it like that and this time it is being picked up.
back in business! thanks a lot.
p.s. why previously did that work and now not?
I donāt have an answer, maybe something was different. I prefer always recheck cmdline after reboot or update.
thanks! appreciate the help. I should know what to look for in future.
@Dmitry Thereās so much great info in this thread - hopefully it can be added to the Vyos wiki so that future users donāt have to search the forum to find it?
I certainly learnt a bit, I wasnāt aware about the ntuple feature.
Humm. Itās weird that you have to do all these configuration to get the 1gb full speed.
I use a lot of Mini PC Quad Core J1900 2GB RAM with 4 LAN Ports and I have no problem to get full gigabit speed with PPPoE.
Be sure that your LAN ports are Intel ones. With Realtek NIC I got problems and I was not able to get full gigabit speed with it.
