Bandwidth testing & CPU usage...

Hi all!

I’m experimenting a bit with bandwidth testing in Mikrotik with the following setup:

Mikrotik router 1 <-ethernet-> Test machine with wireless card 1 <-WDS link-> Test machine with wireless card 2 <-ethernet-> Mikrotik router 2

With bandwidth testing from Mikrotik router 1 ↔ Mikrotik router 2 I always get 100% CPU usage on the router that’s sending the traffic. Is this normal?
These machines are 2.4 Ghz P4’s…

Yes, that is how it is made.
