AI-generatedHFSC shaping accuracy vs hardware offloading persistence on Intel NICs
Shaping accuracy versus offloading behavior HFSC traffic shaping in pfSense relies on ALTQ queue discipline operating at the kernel level. Hardware offloading features—TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO), Large Receive Offload (LRO), and checksum offloading—can cause packets to be processed by the NIC before reaching the shaper, bypassing queue enforcement and pr
