hio77: Hows progress on this going?

I successfully created my network TAP which works on the LAN side at 100BASE-T however unsuccessfully it wont operate at 1000BASE-T (which I found out is impossible for a passive TAP) and the ONT wont seem to connect to the router at anything less than that.

My next option was gonna try this: http://www.m0rd0r.eu/how-to-make-transparent-bridge-with-slackware-linux

Will try your suggestion too Chris..

yes. i expected as much.

i thought the ONT would run at 100mbit still, be it subpar.

Likely the VF Router is trying to force gbit speeds ild say..

as a cheeky way about it, you could try a normal old switch in the middle.. something to fool whichever end is stopping running at 100mbit..

Not having much luck so far.

On a side note however I discovered that I seem to be able to bridge my WAN connection from pfSense to the ONT as many times as I like and end up with multiple simultaneous WAN connections over the one fibre (i.e. assigned multiple dynamic WAN IP's which I can assign to different VMs).

Not sure if this is expected behavior for fiber or what other side-effects or benefits besides being able to host multiple public-facing servers etc (still have to setup DDNS for each connection).

You could even install wireshark on your Windows host and capture on the interface bridged to pfsense LAN...

Multiple IP address are something that's fully supported with UFB (as UFB itself is nothing but a layer 2 connection). This is no different to existing EUBA connections over ADSL2+ or VDSL2.

There slightly different MAC address limits based on the plan type, off the top of my head most are limited to 64 MAC addressesses.

I have Wireshark on my Windows host; what exactly would I be looking for?

So?:
ONT > Host NIC 1 > Host Virtual NIC - VLAN10 > pfSense > Host NIC 2 > STB

And capture NIC1 or Virtual NIC ?

Capture physical NIC.

2 Different captures:

Host NIC1

Host NIC2

If you could PM me the .pcap files, but you're looking for CoS info the the 802.1Q (VLAN) header.

You'll also need to look at the DSCP info in the IP header.

Because traffic inside your LAN is untagged (i.e no VLAN header) there is no CoS (or PCP) info present.

Traffic would instead be marked with DSCP info in the IP header which may be mapped to CoS(PCP) / 'trusted' by the HG659.

Sorry for the probably unnecessarily large dumps, hopefully no password were recorded lol:

Host NIC1 - ONT (277.3MB)> https://mega.co.nz/#!P0kAGYJK!8nV0aqCgNXuBIvHtcE-syzs_6YchKsFbE5ray-JUyQM
Host NIC2 - STB (49.9MB)> https://mega.co.nz/#!bkMFUAgZ!VcKVFAnGUrTQwvSsJWqI_nY_zZWebBobgn9ygPLzKzc

The setup was literally ONT > Host NIC 1 [Wireshark tap 1] > Host Virtual NIC - VLAN10 > pfSense > Host NIC 2 [Wireshark tap 2] > STB (no HG659 attached)

With my current settings I'm actually getting some channels on the STB however very flaky, mostly no sound etc.

So to confirm, you weren't using the VLC test client at all, just the STB plugged directly into the Win host running pfsense vm?

Yes correct, had TCP/IP etc unchecked on both host NIC's too so should only be seeing STB and pfSense traffic.

Ok so managed to get a dump of STB working perfectly though HG659 on LAN.

Setup was ONT > HG659 WAN > HG659 LAN > Server NIC 1 > Windows Bridge > Server NIC 2 [Wireshark] > STB

And finally managed to get a dump of STB working perfectly though HG659 on WAN side.

ONT > Server NIC 1 in Promisc Mode [Wireshark] > Windows Bridge > Server NIC 2 in Promisc Mode > HG659 Router WAN port > HG659 LAN > STB

16.1MB: https://mega.co.nz/#!yxdizSxB!B5IV9vEAxdsXcmZcSiFtJB5DfVgLYZCb_Wto-nGnQ8o

Another update:

After following instructions here: http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-005897.htm

I was able to enable MonitorMode (same as promiscuous mode I think) on my host NIC which has the following effects:

ONT > Server NIC > Virtual NIC VLAN 10:

Can browse internet from Windows Host
Can stream test streams with VLC on Windows Host perfectly

ONT > Server NIC > Virtual NIC VLAN 10 > pfSense > Host-only Virtual LAN:

Can ping outside WAN from Windows Host
Can't seem to browse internet from Windows Host
Can't stream test stream

ONT > Server NIC > pfSense > Host-only Virtual LAN:

Can setup VLAN10 under pfSense and receive WAN IP (wouldn't work before enabled MonitorMode)
Can ping outside WAN from Windows Host
Can't seem to browse internet from Windows Host
Can't stream test stream

On a side note, DHCP keep dying annoyingly on my Windows 8 requiring a "netsh int ip reset" from Admin CMD and reboot each time. Anyway to stop this from happening?

Is there any way you can get a dedicated PC with 2 NICs (even with a cheap realtek NIC from pbtech) running pfsense to test?

I'm beginning to wonder if the host networking is interfering with packet markings as well...
