[AFMUG] MT DynaDish throughput

[Adam Moffett]

I don't normally do Mikrotik Wireless, but I inherited a DynaDish 5 
link.  It's at -66 RSSI on each end, 80mhz channel size.


The physical rate is shown as 390Mbps in both directions, but actual 
downstream throughput seems to vary from 90-97Mbps.  Is this normal for 
the product?  Is there some known optimal config for a Mikrotik PTP?


I fiddled with using 802.11 vs nstream vs nv2, and I got that 90+Mbps 
result on nstream.  The other modes seemed to be worse. I'd hate to 
spend any more time fiddling if this is the expected outcome with this 
product.

80Mhz wide? No interference? What's your SNR?

This is in the back woods. SNR is reported as 39db.  Whether we believe 
that's accurate is possibly up for debate, but the physical rate stays 
pretty consistently at 390Mbps and CCQ stays above 90%.


I'm not sure what wall I'm hitting on real throughput though. CPU only 
gets to 25% or so during the test.  The Ethernet interfaces are gig.  I 
can get 200Mbps+ testing to the near end of the link, but 90-97 testing 
through it one-way.

Friend of mine who is a wisp had a similar situationturned out he had
switch port at one end set to 100mbps...once he switch it to 1000mbps
everything was honky dory...
Maybe something like that?

good thought, but we've been down that road already. every port in the 
path is gig.

Re: [AFMUG] MT DynaDish throughput

[Matt Corcoran]

Are you using the built in microtik speed test or are you testing through from 
an external device? If using the microtik speed test what are  TCP,  UDP,  
Up-only,  Down-only test results?  Externally I use iperf so I can try 
with multiple streams and know how exactly many streams the test is using.  
What is latency?   Maybe we can get a better ideas whats going on.

Mikrotik Btest, but testing with CCR's on either side of the Dynadish.

TCP, 20 connections, testing downlink direction only.
