Yes something like that or more like nv2/TDMA efficiency
I have something in mind how should be calculated if u have more clients on one AP
if some clients require more time slots for some amount of data than TDMA efficiency will be lower
less time slots per client for some amount of data better efficiency
It can be add nv2 efficiency TAB - list of actual nv2 efficiency separately for every client so it can help us to find most problematic clients
at the end of the list average nv2 efficiency
About Actual Load theoretical from data rate and CCQ, every p2p link know “his” throughput - it should be easy
so it can be add Actual Load %, Average 15min Load %, Average 1h Load, Average 1d Load etc etc
Sure u all asking Why this now? Well link throughput is not constant, in a crowded places in different time of day, traffic in air is different, interference is different so logical throughput is different so at the end we are looking for Average Load %.
Also
Should be add graphs for
“theoretical” or actual link throughput (24h)
nv2 efficiency (24h)
Average Load (24h)
Out of the topic it would be very lovely if MT can add temp. and voltage graphs but I guess its hard to be implemented or impossible
I forgot to add the functionality of the Wireless Controller
Wireless Controller feature allows to centralize wireless network management and data processing
There are now several companies that are using 802.11 based chip with sync and what appears to have a better protocol then nv2 is right now. I have found a small company that has seems to have mastered the issues (although I have not tested) and does not begin with M or C… you should seriously consider Leveraging this technology via cooperation or licensing agreement. Be Glad to share with you as I would be VERY surprised if you have heard of them. Unfortunately the product are not available In Europe or North America at this time.
After a while some changes have been made:
Software
1 - Spectral Scan allow to save a file on the RB but they are working for a viewer to see this proprietary file http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/spectral-scan-saved-file-format/76615/4
13 - Wireless Controller feature allows to centralize wireless network management and data processing. See http://goo.gl/wwYFqX … Status: COMPLETE!
UPDATE 29/04/2014: Add the CAPsMAN featurehttp://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CAPsMAN
14 - Auto frequency feature added by mikrotik that select the best channel to use … Status: COMPLETE!
Hardware
2 - A dual-pol cpe (like Sexant) 23dB panel like this http://www.cyberteam.pl/en/produkt/show … Dual_/MMCX , but with the ability to see the LEDs array for alignment use … Status: COMPLETE!
UPDATE 29/04/2014: QRT-5 is ready for usehttp://routerboard.com/RB911G-5HPnD-QRT If possibile we need a low cost (Level 3 + NO_Gigabit version for customer’s use)
Surely 802.11r is must do for Mikrotik? In the tablet/education market, its a must, so you are losing all these sales to UBNT, Ruckus, HP and Cisco, because there is no fast roam support.
Support for mesh/WDS and CAPSman. You should simply set the AP once to join the WDS bridge. (you could also allow some sort of Virtual AP that gets opened with no security Access, and any unconfigured APs will by default try latch onto it, once on the network you can bring them onto the secure WDS network by sending the CAPSman settings to them as per normal. This would also make setup of WDS for dummies, and make the product very accessible to market (Seems like WDS is still beyond most people to actually setup, yet steps are simple and repetitive).
Not possible with current Atheros Chipset. You need a second Wireless chip like the nanostation ac (the 11n nanostation cant do it) or a chipset which can do this like Quantenna.
