Re: [Mikrotik] RB OS v 3.7
I tend to look at this as if it were ethernet, right or wrong. Most of my customers that need a public ip for a specific reason I would rather pseudobridge as if it were a bridge on an ethernet or cable system. This helps me so that I don't have to mess with port forwarding etc for special aps in mostly incoming aps to the customer. I have run into the occasional outbound from the customer ap that doesn't like the nat etc we have for our usual customers. That way they deal with whatever networking issues instead of me having to mess with it. Its just simpler for me. For the few pseudobridges I have instituted so far, I have not seen a problem with traffic and it has worked well for the customer (mostly businesses or home offices). For instance, I configured a pseudobridge for a customer who ran certain aps and his performance increased, aps worked and he no longer had complaints. I have not had issues with performance on the ap as a result. Now maybe if I had a lot of them on a particular AP that would be different. But so far no.

Re: [Mikrotik] RB OS v 3.7
Right, which we'll have a fair split of customer's that don't have publics running in plain station mode. But in some of the business districts about 90% of those clients are going to be putting the public IP into their equipment, with the ap as the gateway, so we don't have to do any NATing above their router. -Keith- - Original Message - From: Butch Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wed, 4/30/2008 3:12pm To: Mikrotik discussions Subject: Re: [Mikrotik] RB OS v 3.7 On Wed, 30 Apr 2008, Keith Barber wrote: >I have an AP (RB600) with about 40 clients and 3 full wds links at >the moment.

The AP would not like 43 station-wds clients. However, that is not needed. Let me explain a bit. To run wds, you need to set up the AP for WDS. Then, you set ONLY those clients that need WDS as station-wds. Other clients can be running as "normal" clients (station mode if you are running MT clients). In this scenario, the AP will not have a problem.

Re: [Mikrotik] RB OS v 3.7
Question about the station-wds performance hit. I have an AP (RB600) with about 40 clients and 3 full wds links at the moment. We are looking at providing the customer with their IP on their own equipment. Station-wds was looking like the answer. If all 40 of those clients were in station-wds, meaning there are now 43 wds links on the AP, is the AP going to choke? -Keith- - Original Message - From: Butch Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wed, 4/30/2008 1:51pm To: Mikrotik discussions Subject: Re: [Mikrotik] RB OS v 3.7 On Wed, 30 Apr 2008, Eric Sooter wrote: >I thought that pseudobridge had better performance in >p-t-multipoint.

Let's say that you have an AP with 10 client devices connected. If these 10 are all running with station-wds, then you will have some performance hit for that. If you only need station-wds on 2 of them, then you will not suffer noticably. Alternatively, you can run all 10 with pseudobridge and performance will not suffer. HOWEVER, because of the way 802.11 functions, you will have other issues. Let me give a specific scenario. You have a customer that needs the public IP on their own gear (so they can control the port forwarding or whatever). You can build that customer's radio connection in one of 3 ways (more, actually, but for this example, we'll just discuss the 3 main ways). 1. You can assign an IP to the radio card on their MT radio and route their subnet via that IP. This will cost nothing in terms of performance of the AP, and the customer's IP will be 100% reachable. 2. You can set the MT radio in station-wds mode and assign their public IP on their equipment (the gateway IP would be on your AP). This will only cause a performance hit if you have to do this for more than about 7-10 customers. This performance hit will not be dramatic, even with 10-15 customers, unless the AP is already pretty loaded. 3. You can use pseudobridge. Like #2, you would assign the customer's public IP to their equipment and their gateway IP would be assigned to your AP. When the customer generates traffic toward the Internet, your AP would find their MAC address to be that of the radio card on their MT running pseudobridge. All traffic generated by the customer would be properly delivered. However, if the customer's equipment has not sent any packets for a bit, then you will have a problem because when the AP (which considers their IP to be available local) cannot determine their MAC address with an ARP broadcast. SO..the customer can send traffic to the internet with no problems, but if a connection is initiated from the internet side, and their device has been quiet for some time, that connection will fail. This is due to the reality of how 802.11 was defined and the way that pseudobridge "fools" the network into thinking the end user IP actually exists on the wireless network. I can't cover this in enough detail to make it clear WHY this is true, because I'm short on time, but if there is enough interest, I can try to provide some information later. -- *Butch Evans*Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering *MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879*ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/*StarOS and MORE * *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Wired or Wireless Networks* ___ Mikrotik mailing list Mikrotik@mail.butchevans.com http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik

Eric // Butch Evans wrote: On Thu, 24 Apr 2008, Keith Barber wrote: For allowing the customer to have the IP in their equipment versus the radio, is using straight WDS bridge mode still the best way? WDS is better than "psuedobridge". After all, if you can create a "real" bridge, isn't that better than a "sort of" (psuedo) bridge? There are other options, but if you need to create a bridge over wireless, WDS is the lowest overhead option. Problem with that, is if you change channels.. you need to sign into every client radio and move them first. Couple of things to remember. First, you don't have to run WDS at every client just because one (or more) on an AP is running WDS. Secondly, if you use mode "station-wds", the client will follow frequency changes just like "normal" clients.
Re: [Mikrotik] RB OS v 3.7
Lanham, I have used about everything as CPE's (including tranzeo's), but the 133 and 411 boards perform so much better for us. The Mikrotik boards also do a better job when the signal drops pretty low. We just started using the 411's, about 20-30 clients out there now; but they might be as fast as the 333 boards. Very impressed with the price/performance.

Re: [Mikrotik] RB OS v 3.7
Interesting. I had never really looked into wds since I didn't need all the functions. I guess that and I was used to ethernet and you just bridged it there which basically equates to pseudobridge. That and the older cpe's we used you just selected bridge which would be the equivalent (sort of?) of pseudo. But either way my reasoning was for those customers, mainly businesses, which it was better to route to their hardware and the public ip was there instead of the cpe.

Re: [Mikrotik] RB OS v 3.7
We use Station-WDS mode for client's that need a public IP on their firewall. I'm not sure why you would have to sign into it to change channels... We change freq's occasionally on AP's, the client re-associates just fine.
