1) I may be eating my words as i read more. then again, there may have been an issue with the backhaul and "port flapping" too. still more questions than answers. and...
2) i'm learning mimosa and flow control might not go together? like, it is assumed on a certain forum that mimoas's flow control does nothing... ? stay tuned (or don't) for more developments.....i don't care reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-RLqLx1iYI ----- Original Message ----- From: Kurt Fankhauser To: af@afmug.com Sent: Tuesday, December 6, 2016 10:03 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] attn: mhoppes + netonix + flow control when is that "issue" going to be addressed by Ubiquiti?

"Flow Control is the Devil " !! in all seriousness, Flow Control is a powerful setting, which can hurt or solve issues, depending on a lot of what if's. With the netonix, they way to see if you need flow control or if it is on is to do BW tests on the link (i.e. force a large amount of traffic across) and look at the Port stats (counters).... you will be able to see if you need it and or what is the effect of it, being on or off.... :) Regards.

Speed complaints galmore. Upon further investiation we discovered flow control was turned on automatically on a netonix upgrade. Researched our backhauls, ran speed tests between mikrotiks, etc, etc, things were certainly slower. Enabled flow control on the mimosa backhauls we have ; no effect. Rolled it all back over the weekend (but forgot where i'd read in the forum netonix enabled flow control at some point) found it tonight and immediately speeds are up by 33% (we were doing 90-100 meg, now doing 120-120, at peak times should be doing 200+) just sharing... ALSO - noticed on the mimoas although we had flow control enabled, the switch apparently never saw it. It has an icon for flow control and the EPMP radios we have showed it was enabled but although it was enabled on the mimoas the netonix never showed the flow control icon by the mimoas radios....
