Description

RSC support was added to FreeBSD in 12.3 and is included in pfSense 22.01/2.6.

When run in Hyper-V it can create very low throughput in some conditions. That can be mitigated in some setups by disabling RSC in the vSwitches but not all.

RSC should be disabled when the system is routing but is not automatically and the current driver implementation provides no way to disable it manually.

This seems to work as expected.

[22.05-BETA][admin@azure10.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl dev.hn.0.rsc_switch
dev.hn.0.rsc_switch: 0
[22.05-BETA][admin@azure10.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl -d dev.hn.0.rsc_switch
dev.hn.0.rsc_switch: switch to rsc

RSC support is now disabled by default.
