Yes, there is a 10% hit on throughput on each decrement of sync timing. Unless you have an explicit nearby B11 you’re trying to sync with and have a PCN for in an alternate direction, we clearly would recommend using Auto for latency and dynamic bandwidth features.

This gives me as much Tx bandwidth as I require for peak times, but no one client IP can download more than 20mbps of TCP traffic (from my speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net> at the edge, nor anyone else’s beyond my edge). When TDMA is Auto, MAC Tx/Rx is 780/780 (lower Tx, which is undesirable as it’s 100mbps shy of what I need during peak hours), but TCP throughput per client is greatly increased (150+mbps). So I’m in a pickle. Either my scrupulous customers can get those coveted speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net> results they love seeing as they run them every thirty seconds ad-nauseum at the cost of overall Tx capacity of the link. Or I give myself some headroom in link capacity but the fastest speeds my 100mbps clients can see is 20mbps. What’s even stranger is that client upload seems unaffected. I can upload 150+mbps from my test on the link no matter what TDMA is configured. I hit up Mimosa’s chat support was as chipper as they were unyielding in their idea that I should test in a way that caters to the B11’s shortcomings. I’ve been a Mimosa fanboy for a while now but boy am I feeling burned right now. Chris Wright Network Administrator
