Eoip link 40% lower throughoutput than link without EOIP, in TCP

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols

I have one wireless link, I tryed to make eoip tunnel over it.
Without tunnel it has throughoutput 70mbit/s. Over tunnel EOIP it has throughoutput in TCP just 38Mbit/s. in UDP throughotput is same with or without tunnel.

MTU is everywhere set on 1542. I tryed it on various wireless links, so it has nothing to do with noise…

What is the problem?

Use VPLS less overhead and not CPU intensive

Sounds like you may have an MTU issue…we have done up to 10 Gbps of TCP traffic over EoIP.

IPANetEngineer seriously? 10 Gbps over wireless? :smiley:

Sure why not? Although not all of us are hardcore wireless guys. :slight_smile:

We do a bunch of data center and wireline service provider work in addition to WISPs and the data center guys use 10 gig like it’s going out of style. 40 gig is about to be the new baseline for server connectivity in big data centers and 100 gig isn’t too far away.

As for wireless, you can do 10 gig in wireless if you aggregate enough 1 gig backhauls and in some places that’s way cheaper than buying 10 gigs of fiber transit.

and more manageable, usually :slight_smile:

I am using GRE tunnels, works great, simple…also MTU size ideal for all routerboards…

GRE is good as well but it really depends on whether or not you need Layer 2 or Layer 3 in your design. EoIP is popular because it is a very inexpensive way to extend a Layer 2 network and get decent speeds without the complexity of MPLS.
