Bhyve bridges are inefficient: every packet traverses NIC → CPU → bridge → VM, adding unnecessary copies that kill throughput. Switching to SR-IOV eliminated that overhead and I saturated the 10 GbE link.
When this settles down, I look forward to all of jail/iojail, Sylve, Bastille, Bhyve documenting this in a mutually consistent manner. As it stands, I have managed to completely knot my brain over the abstractions, what is happening. It's me, not the systems, but I think there is a little bit of "meh, I understand it, so it must be obvious to anyone smart" going on, and alas, I am not smart, and I get confused easily.
I'm in bastille atm, but have been in all of them and TrueNAS core. and libvirt over on the other unix.

You used the new optimized bridges on FreeBSD 15?
On Linux?
