Description
A concern was raised that we don't have any notes that PPPoE can cause throughput bottlenecks on appliances because of the fact that PPPoE is limited to a single queue for packet processing, which can have detrimental effects.
We have information here, but nothing explicitly stating that this issue is across all appliances:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/tune.html#pppoe-with-multi-queue-nics
Additionally, the workaround there only works for Intel NICs, but it is not mentioned. Applying that patch to ARM-based systems or non-Intel based NICs will not improve speeds.
