https uploads 5X slower thru one gateway than another

[Daniel_Kavan]

Hi Mates,

Developers are seeing 1.7 MB/s upload speeds with HTTPS thru one of my gateways with a 10 GB Firbre interface (1 40e driver), while seeing 9.5 MB/s HTTPS upload speeds thru another with a 1 GB interface tg3 driver.  I'm not seeing any rx/tx errors.   Using scp the speeds are similar, which indicates a issue with the application, but they are still blaming the firewall saying they are using the same code.   I'm not seeing any drops.  I'm not doing https inspection.   Let me double check categorization is the same on both.  Yes, it's a global setting categorize https and cached are both checked.   Any ideas are welcome.   This is all internal traffic going thru the internal interface and a VLAN interface.  Neither of these gateways are in a cluster, both are standalone.   I tried turning off fwaccel I tried a TE exception from IPS/AV/AB, no effect either.   I do have the URL filtering blade on the slower one and not the faster one.

Are the gateways both the same version/JHF I assume they aren't showing other signs of performance issues / high load?

Hi Chris,

The load and memory (resources) all look good on both.   The slower one is on JHF65, whereas the faster has a slightly older JHF.  Same major version though.  I'm adding URL filtering on the faster one to see if that slows it down.   Assuming, URLF will slow it down, can you make an exception for URLF?   I assume you can in the access policy, but I haven't tried it before.
