Alright, second try.
Yes, I tried disabling pf and testing.
Same results: ping from OpenBSD firewall to clientsss is irregular/slow (0-8ms); ping from clients to firewall is good (<0.300ms); ping between clients is good (<0.300ms).


OK. We can probably rule out pf as being involved here.

I'd guess this is down to your switch/hub. You're not losing any packets. Some are just taking longer than others. I think this is quite normal behaviour, or at least it looks remarkably similar to my installation (OpenBSD 3.6 firewall, various Linux/Win clients).

If there *is* something wrong, then I have the same problem!! :-)

Can you repeat the test without the switch involved ?
