The RB600 is nice, I just got one of the pre-production ones from
WISP-Router and I put a $20 daughterboard on it so now I have 6 mpci on
one side! And with the daughterboard its still cheaper than War4 Metro
and I get 2 more mpci slots. One thing to note though it will only take
POE that is 36-48v so I have to re-engineer my battery arrays at those
towers I will be using it on. I think I am only going to use the RB600
on towers that don't use POE cause I can get away with 24v on the normal
power jack. One thing I don't like about it is the 2 CF slots on the
back are in the way if you plan on verlcro to attach it to your box. Not
a big deal I can use standoff's but still that would have been better
without them for my situation.

Here is a real world MT test running RB532's (333mhz) with v3.2 OS:
5.3ghz, 3 miles, 10mhz channel, 18.3Mbps one direction
5.8ghz, 9 miles, 20mhz channel, 27.3Mbps one direction
A more comparable test would be using the new MT RB600 units (as they
are almost exactly the same price as the WAR4 boards). I will get a
couple ordered and deployed so we can do some comparable testing. :)

OK, here are some real world examples:
5.3ghz 40mhz channel, 8.5 miles. WAR4/CM9 attached to 29db PacWireless
Antennas. 50meg one way.
5.7ghz 20mhz channel, 10 miles. WAR2/CM9 attached to 29db PacWireless
Antennas. 45meg one way (CPU maxes out on WAR2s)
5.7ghz 10mhz channel, 42 miles WAR4/SR5 attached to 34db Radiowaves
Antennas. 18meg one way.
FDD 5.2ghz 20mhz channel, 10 miles X4000/R52H attached to 29db
Pacwireless/21db MTI panel.
5.8ghz 20mhz channel, 10 miles X4000/R52H attached to 21db
MTI Panel/29db Pacwireless 30 down, 30 up
for comparison: Motorola Gemini Lite (30meg bh) on the same link - 3meg
down, 3 up
We have several RB532 backhauls in the air, and even with all the
optimization we can do to them, we never get better than 20 meg in one
direction. Replacing the RB532s with WAR2s (266mhz CPU, comparable to
an RB532) nearly doubles the speed.
On comparable hardware, I have not come across ANY Mikrotik system that
will keep up with StarOS when it comes to dedicated backhaul.

Testing beyond each ethernet port. 2 weeks non-stop stress-testing
after we
installed and before we deployed gave us 70 megs one way. The MRTG
graph
looked like a solid block without any deviation.

I haven't seen those results, but I have seen 12MbpsFDX with a -63 on
both
sides running Nstream2. If we are going to talk REAL THROUGHPUT - - lets
get
real and everyone use real figures. I ain't talking bench test and
"maybe"
if I hold one hand in the air, twist my lips standing on one leg.
I mean real world - whatcha getting?? Whatcha see and is it a bench test
or
are you in the real WISP world? :)

Mikrotik can do 70 megs or more over 40 MHz as well.
