It has to do with CPU load. Since the FDD is running two radios, its doing twice as much work as the one running a single radio. I have observed the FDD links doing 50-55meg in one direction, and my guess is that the most common loaded FDD links will be doing 40-50 in one direction and 10-15 i

Matt, A quick question on your examples... on the 10 mile link you are getting 45Mbps with 20Mhz, but on the full-duplex link going the same distance, you are only getting 30Mbps. Why is there a 50% loss when doing full-duplex? Also, are you testing with TCP or UDP? Travis Microserv Matt L

I'll second that by adding, not only have consistent testing tools for testing each product, but also taking the time to test the testing tools as well. It can make a BIG difference which PC a testing tool is running from. Taking for granted that one P4 router will perform the same as another P

I'm not trying to make things more complicated, but the tool used to test is also very important. For example, if you use a BW test tool that pumps compressible data into a wireless link that has compression turned on, then you might get misleading results. IMO, if you are showing your best resul

The RB333 and RB600 have comparable MHz, but are significantly faster than the RB532. As the Intel vs. AMD wars have shown us, MHz is a worthless unit of comparison among processor lines. -- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message ---
