Framer Policy

[Equis]

Hello

What do you guys uise for framer policy?

Dynamic seem tio give me fast results.

exact-sise is supposd to be fastest.

Can anyone tell me pro’s cons of each setting, manuel does not really say

Thanks

One could argue the larger the frame size, the more difficult it would be to achieve correct communication.

One could argue that fragmenting packets across two frames could also lead to problems.

However, depending on MikroTik staff’s definition of “best performance”,

@MikroTik Manual

• exact-size - put as much packets as possible in one frame, until the framer-limit limit is met, even if fragmentation will be needed (best performance)

is hard to ignore.

what they mean by best performance in this case is actually “most efficient”. It is by coincidence that it proves the best performance, which is mostly based on a lot of assumptions that they do not mention.
Dynamic will change framer size in 512 byte increments, but those values are not necessarily what gives you best performance. I’d say that for best efficiency you should increase the framer limit by distance.
It’s difficult to calculate the correct size and the manual (was?) unclear whether this size limit is on referring to 802.2, 802.3 or 802.11 packet size.
