Hello Ianhan,
As Apasupulati explain about the buffer functionality in PAN-OS very well on above post. So, once the buffer will exhaust ( 1/8192 0x80000000bb410700 ), all incoming/outgoing packet will be in queue for a long time to allocate packet buffer for further processing. As a result you will see an unexpected delay / slowness of traffic processing. Every time you will reboot this firewall, the packet buffer counter will reset to normal ( 8134/8192 0x80000000bb410700).
The PAN engineering team has already identified the issue with this version PAN-5.0.7 and fixed in a temp-fix version. For better and longer stability, i would recommend you to upgrade the PAN-OS of this firewall.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hello.
We have same performance after update from 5.0.5 so no performance issue.
Check on PA-2050, PA-500 and PA-200

Please run the following commands and show the entire output. The sample out would seem something like below and more.
admin@500> debug dataplane pool statistics
Verify Software pools are not depleted:
Software Pools
[ 0] software packet buffer 0 : 16384/16384 0x8000000021800680
[ 1] software packet buffer 1 : 8192/8192 0x8000000022010700
[ 2] software packet buffer 2 : 8192/8192 0x8000000022818780
[ 3] software packet buffer 3 : 4096/4096 0x8000000023820800
When the issue is happening If by any chance the number is reaching to 1 that would indicate that some buffer is leaking. If this is the case you will need to open a case with Tech support to further investigate the issue.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Upgraded our 3050 pair 2 weeks ago and have not heard of any issues with VPN yet. Will keep monitoring now. Resources appear in good shape. Thanks!
