@joany that makes very little sense. What network card (driver) do you use on your Tribblix host?

With very little other information, such as your rule set and perhaps some numbers it’s difficult to help you diagnose this.

@astade I understand
But why is there a difference?

ISP throttling?

@joany could be. Could be the remote end throttling incoming traffic. Could be the client. Could be something weird with how you’re using the system. It’s very difficult to tell. Many network cards especially 10Gbit and up use hardware LSO if the driver supports it. Others do not. Without knowing more about where to look, there are tons of potential causes.
