I have two stable point-to-point links that are capable of much more TCP bandwidth than I can get to show up at their respective Mikrotiks using tool bandwidth-test (and in live operation I can’t even approach the bandwidth-test figure).
At the Vegas MUM, Janis mentioned that the default queuing for all wireless was SFQ, but this was not optimal for a point-to-point connection. So I thought I might be able to gain some performance by moving the PTP link to FIFO. But I can’t locate any guidance anywhere as to how the queue size limit relates to actual bandwidth.
In reviewing other posts, I see limits in the low five figures, so it doesn’t seem reasonable that I should specify 6M to achieve 6Mb bandwidth. Having never used this queue type before, I don’t want to start off by entering a ridiculous figure that is so high that it bricks the router, or so low that it locks me out of it.
Any guidance here, please?
