fetch should get a own log topic "fetch", so we can just disable it:

Try to enable a mp-pfifo for the wlan-interface. Try it first at the Client - this improved my tcp-download-rate dramatically.

Re: Significant improvement for wireless Nv2 PtMP

For my experiences the new NV2-Modes "dynamic downlink" are making the PtMP-Links more sensitive in case one of the clients is weak. After installing 6.40.9 (before 6.36.2) I was wondering about the loss on the weaker link. Ping looks like below (in case there is some MBit traffic on the o...

N-Devices (QRT5) perform better than AC-Devices (QRT5ac) in noisy environments

Hi, Recently I had a problem with a new 7km link to a tower using two QRT5ac. The overall perfomance was quite bad. After several days of tweaking (changing frequencies and parameters, I also tried to switch to N-only), I decided to mount a QRT5 (with N-only) at the tower - and all problems are gone...

Re: mANTBox 19s and SXT Lite5 very poor Tx/RX CCQ

You should use a QRT5ac instead of the Sxt for the 4km distance. However, my experiences with AC-Technology on noisy enviroments (many other 5GHz links at the same tower) is bad. In case your environment is noisy you should exchange the AC-Router with older N-Routers (eg. QRT5 instead of a QRT5ac) a...

Re: TCP performance

I think is not a MikroTik problem. With these bandwidths, latency plays against. I think one main problem of NV2 is the jitter of the latency. TCP frames arrive asynchronly to the NV2 TDMA time slot, sometimes they get through within 1ms mostly within 3ms, but sometimes with 15ms (one out of 100). ...

Re: OSPF - Invalid sequence number / MD5 authentication fail

The notation is quite confusing ;-) HT40-7 is MCS15 (40MHz BW) -> 300Mbps (using guard interval "any" which is 400ns and 2 spatial streams) .. HT40-0 is MCS08 (40MHz BW) -> 15Mbps and for small bandwidth: HT20-7 is MCS15 (20MHz BW) -> 144.4Mbps .. HT20-0 is MCS08 (20MHz BW) -> 7.2Mbps In c...

Re: Low throughput question

Borax: The CCQ during a full and massive Bandwidth test is important, the one in idle state not. More than HT40-7 is not possible, and because it is using a very sensitive modulation scheme in that case - it will do often several retransmits - which will improve the jitter of the packet latency.

Re: Low throughput question

leonix,

Do you think that reducing MCS rates will increase throughput over my 5m link?
(Also: my CCQ is near 100%).

I'm running v6.10.
No. In case of CCQ~100 changing the MCS settings will not improve it. (maybe they changed the behaviour of automatic MCS selection in 6.10).

Re: Do fog affect wireless signal connectivity?

Only 5km? Put a Omnitik on the top of the turbine and a Sextant at your office. This should work at lower rates. (I guess you will get about 20Mbps with no obstacles in line of sight (no trees!)). But 5km is the limit in this config.

Done some testing. It is still the same. TCP-Speed suffers over multiple nv2-Links. It must be something queueing related. May be reordering of packets??

Improve low TCP performance on NV2 wireless links

TCP perfomance is very sensitive to packet latency jitter (ping jitter). Bringing the jitter down will improve TCP performance. What is ping jitter? In case you do "ping host" ping times vary much. Jitter is a real problem on wireless links. For two 5 GHz Mikrotik-Sxt's using NV2 on a link...

Re: CoDel support?

CoDel can be configured
http://linuxmanpages.net/manpages/fedor ... del.8.html
The 5ms or the number of conccurrent tcp-flows are not hardcoded and can be adjusted. So it is possibly also useful for wireless links with longer delays or more load.
