hengst

Also it looks like your tx powers are very high ? To much tx wil distort your modulation.

hengst

I would not use nv2 here, as thats more useful to ptmp. I think nstream will be a better choice. Also check ack settings with your link calculations if you use ack.

hengst

All right , To continue the search of a more dynamic solution to prevent bad signal clients take down to much of the AP throughput i found the easy way to limit clients with a max available throughput regarding to there signal. just create some access list rules, and that is it. tweak as required , ...

hengst

After some experiments i think the meganism to queue low ccq clients could be done on AP side as well and might even work better. you can for example set in access list a AP-tx-limit for low ccq clients. i am not much of a coder, but this might be coded in NV2 protocol or AP interface queue ? probab...

hengst

Alright, i am sure it works now for udp/tcp tested it with udp/tcp and some more clients with good and low signals/ccq. ( @ ADahi , seems to work best with NV2 set to dynamic 50% and not as i thought , with static 80. ) the script prevents the low ccq client from degrading the AP overall throughput....

hengst

did you use this before?

yes i played/ing a lot with those settings every day. fixed 80% would be my choice.

most testing i do with udp stream, tonight i am going to do some more tcp testing with extra cpu power behind mikrotik.

i am trying to get clear picture of script impact / settings.

hengst

It is encouraging to read you state this approach makes a big difference, however (1) As ROS is mostly software based any extra function(s) which require constant CPU cycles which will result in a drop in performance with misleading results? (2) NV2 only calculates CCQ when traffic is flowing, so w...

Thnx ADahi , think you make magic happen here. after some testing i found using ccq is a better approach { :local CX [/interface wireless registration-table get 0 rx-ccq ]; /queue simple set 0 max-limit=((($CX * 5) / 10)."M"); } one can play with the factor "5" , ideal would be t...

So i had some playing with the script, besides the script is very basic at this point, it does work to set the queue for some data rates.

Your the best !, learning a lot here.

Sure it is easy :wink: Thanks ADahi ! , i will have a play with it. i want to achieve a script that will set a simple queue to the wlan. simple queue needs to be no higher than 80% of the connection data rate. it also has to be dynamic, so when data rate is going up, so will the queue. maybe you wa...

hengst

Whit active data rates i mean a client that is downloading data. An idle client is not active, and will drop rates to 6.5Mbps.

But do the test and you will see for your self.

hengst

In my testlab equipment it was all default on sfq , playing with diff types of queue did not had better results in my case.

Sfq looked to be needed to share the Ap resources best. But if someone have better setti gs there i love to hear them.

hengst

To get it "on topic"

i would love to see a script that can set a Simple queue based on the Rx-rate

how can help with that, as iam not a script guru but do understand the basics.

hengst

So then why we only seeing 20-30Mbps throughput on the APs? :D Back to square one... running a loop here... one more time ; a client with Rx-rate connection rate of 52Mbps will have throughput of more or less 30Mbps when doing bandwidth test. at that moment the total bandwidth available to all clie...

hengst

First can we really compare Cisco Meraki to Mikrotik NV2! its not about Meraki, and not to compare Meraki to Mikrotik , it is about Wifi basics. Take this example. 1 Ap NV2 ( N protocol ) 1 active client connected with Rx rate 52Mbps , will give you more or less 30Mbps with doing bandwidth test to ...

hengst

. And when it's NOT active, you sit with links with 3% or 5% CCQ, which degrades the performance of the links that IS active...

How ? , only active low data rates that are degrading throughput of AP. Thats basic wifi behaviour. Idle connections almost none.

hengst

Https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/WiF ... imitations

hengst

What makes this interesting, is that CCQ drops when the link is idle and there's no traffic. Yet, when there's traffic all CCQs are well over the 80% and we still only get about 30Mbps / 35Mbps. CCQ can only be measured with active traffic. This is why NV2 needs airtime fairness or at least a funct...

hengst

Thnx Rudy, good info. thnks for sharing

i noticed in lab test config with NV2 that you have to set the dynamic download to 80 to achieve good download rates to clients, set to 50 was no good.
did you played with that too ? and what where your experiences.

Wireles is always about the Signal, CCQ, SNR etc. in basic theory , 50% of the connected data rate is your real throughput. NV2 is helpfull for avoiding hidden node effect on an PtMP seen in 802.11, by using a form of TDMA ( a serving time window for every client ) For PtP it can be different what w...

hengst

the key in AP (NV2) performance is always that - the lowest signal client/data rate is in control of the total throughput. so when a cpe maxes out on the connected datarate, it takes down the overall throughput of the AP the way to avoid this is, is to hard set the queue on the client to lets say 80...
