PtP bandwidth check with a pair of SXT5ac

Thu Jun 30, 2016 12:17 pm

I have few PtP links with SXT 5 ac
Once they are aligned how can I check link bandwidth ?
I usually do a test with BandwidthTest tool, but the results are very different if I use UDP rather TCP and trasmit vs receive vs both.
How should I set them ?
What is the real bandwidth a customer can achieve for its own applications (yes there are so many different ones...) between both lan sides ?

 Thank you

I finally gave up trying to get accurate (or even close to accurate) tests with the MikroTik bandwidth test software.  I found a couple of other software packages that worked much better.  One is even free:  www.tamos.com.  Download their Throughput Test software and try it.  You'll need to run the server on a pc on one end of the connection and the client software on a pc on the other end.
