SRX5308 QoS Performance Drop

Model: SRX5308

Firmware: 4.3.4-2

 

Enabling a QoS profile in an outbound firewall rule drops download speed from 360 Mbps to under 100 Mbps. What is the point of having a Gbps firewall if QoS caps the performance at under 100 Mbps? 

 

What is being done to rectify this bottleneck?

    Hi markroe,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Kindly answer the questions below:

     

    a. Was it working fine before?  What I mean is have you tried to enable a QoS profile in an outbound firewall rule before without experiencing a drop in the download speed?

    b. What test did you perform that shows that there is a drop in the download speed after enabling a QoS profile in an outbound firewall rule?

    c. Have you just recently updated the firmware to v4.3.4-2?  

     

    Kindly post screenshots or images of the configured QoS profile as well as the outbound firewall rule where you apply the QoS profile.

     

     

    Regards,
