I have 4 routerboards, 4 SR5 cards, and 4 dish antennas. Rather than putting two cards on one routerboard for NStream2 (taxing the CPU), can I do this full duplex setup?
rb532 #1 Tx >-------->-------> Rx rb532 #2
rb532 #3 Rx <--------<-------< Tx rb532 #4

I am not sure if this can be done perhaps bonding could help I am not sure so somebody can tell if this posible or not
I have not tried this before but looks interesting.
We implimented Nstreme dual using 2 RB532, 4 SR5 cards and 4 19db Flat panel antennas. Works grate depending on the traffic you intend to push through!

Using 1 set of equipment ( 2 RB532, 4 SR5, 2 Antennas ) will be fine unless you are wanting to use this for a high bandwidth backhaul. In my experience, with the CPUs on the RB532 you can only push 30Mbit max using Nstreme2.
I’ve often thought about doing what you suggested and using 2 set of equipment. Theoretically it should work perfect but the only negative thing about this would be the extra cost of equipment. If you do try it and get it working, please post your results. I’m sure there are lot of people eager to see them.
you need two more devices:
| rb532 #1 Tx ------ Rx rb532 #2 |
Router#0 -->>--| |---> Router#5
| rb532 #3 Rx ------ Tx rb532 #4 |
and then this would be Eugene’s famous 400Mbit setup. See wiki (MUM Europe)
Normis, can you give more details about Eugene’s setup? Did he bond 2 ethernet interfaces (one to RB#1, second to RB#2)?
no, he used firewall to do per-packet load balancing. each packet was sent to another interface. eugene has been asked to post the details setup, but he always forgets to do this
Bah… Latvian vodka, always has the same effect… 
Thanks Normis, just read through the super wireless test. I hope we can pursuade Eugene to post more details on this setup, this is exactly what I want to do!
Tom
YES…
We need sample configuration please…
