Re: [AFMUG] Epmp user throughput

[Adam Moffett]

Mikrotik TCP bandwidth test opens 20 connections by default.  If you get 
less with 1 connection than you do with the default 20 connections, then 
that might be a symptom of packet loss.

I have deployed quite a bit of epmp, but most people are at my base 
package, 4x1 (using the radio qos to limit bw on different tiers). Of 
the handful of people that are on larger plans, 20x5 or 40x10, 2 of 
them, on different towers are complaining that they struggle to get 
over 10mb on a speed test. The radio rf link test performs at the 
assigned qos level, and I sent one of them a mikrotik to go between 
the poe and his router (qos 40x10), and udp/tcp tests to that are 
coming back as expected. However, I can be watching the router, and 
his interface plugged directly into a laptop only runs like 10x2 
during a speedtest. Do both of these customers have something wonky 
with their laptops, or is there a setting in epmp I'm overlooking? 
Most of our epmp deployment has been FSK upgrades, so I haven't had 
much actual laptop time myself behind an epmp sm, as we just go on the 
roof and change radios.
