I was pretty amazed at the transfer rate of 5mhz and 10mhz channels… 5/7 Mbps TCP/UDP, and 12/17 TCP/UDP. I’m using regular WRAP boards and CM9 cards in my office. I’ve got NStreme enabled.
It’s not that that’s really shocked me. What happened next is I tried 5ghz-turbo on the same bandwidth test (board to board, no external bandwidth generator). I got 52Mbps UDP, only 24-26 Mbps TCP though, but that’s way beyond anything I’ve seen a WRAP board do!
In 5ghz (normal) I got 22/34 Mbps TCP/UDP, which for standard channels is good by any means. I think what’s really got me stunned is the fact that in 2.8, a WRAP with NStreme is limited to about 11Mbps TCP, 16Mbps UDP. But getting 52Mbps UDP! Wow. And that’s CPU limited compared to when the test is run externally.
If these numbers are right, wireless-test is very streamlined! I’m going to try more tomorrow using external BTest servers.
