That is true, but it is also a good stress test to see if an FDD radio is actually a true transparent bridge or not, which outputs Ethernet frames unmolested and down the fiber on the other end in the same order they were received. The FDD Siklu or Bridgewave 80 GHz radios will pass it just fine.
In fact an AF24 will not pass an RFC2544 test at 200 Mbps full duplex, even when linked at a perfect 770x770 in the GUI.
