We are having the exact same issues. Is this only an issue with the Routerboard CCR 1036 on an older version of 6.41? I have a 1072 as well that I may swap out at our data center.

I think our limitation is two SFP+ bonded as a 802.3ad layer 2 with mii are the limitation for our 1036 CCR. Any one else agree.? We hit a ceiling of 2Gb from 2 10Gb SFP+ bonded ports. Any input or suggestions would be welcomed. Does this happen on a 1072 CCR? ROS is 6.41 . Thank you -Sincerely, Des...

Modbus on a mikrotik would make the mikrotik even more valuable! Because you could have one MT that does everything and have an RS232 port or use the USB to MODBUS USB and poll data from an MPPT on a solar site then would allow you to do an SNMP poll from a cacti server and you could chart your VOLT...

It seems that if you have 10Gb SFP+ and you want to have a 1Gb bottle neck just make a bond between two 10Gb SFP+ interfaces. Not sure how this is a feature.

If you have a bridge on the edge or between the edge and your client you can place queues that allow the queuing to occur on a bridge.

XR-2 is rocking! Well it has been in place for about 2 weeks now and there has been no problems. The one client connection that is really far away is the only one polluting their own connection.

desertadmin

Thanks for the prompt responses. This is exactly what I needed to know. This explanation makes much more sense. I think our problem is noise. Even if we reduce the number of CPEs we have bad CCQ I think this will improve some of the CCQs which will allow me to migrate a few to another sector we have...

desertadmin

So by increasing the CCQ of the CPEs will effectively allow better connections; correct? Then by the XR-2 pushing more mW to get a better signal to a CPE and by the XR-2 being able to ground out with RF ESD/EMP immunity then the card should by specs be able to clean up and transmit better to the CPE...

I am not concerned with bandwidth. The number I can have connected to any Atheros card currently is only about 34. After that all connected clients start to experience serious radio problems like lower Pthroughput readings and lower CCQ. We have the bandwidth for the sector to hold more than 34 conn...

How many clients can you have on a XR2 vs SR2? I think our SR2 can probably hold about 30 clients with 1M up/down connections. But around 35 connections everything starts to lose quality.
