Hi all..
just wonder know, what’s the different the wds and mpls setting for the mikrotik wireless ?
Now that’s a large question. Look up the related technologies on the wiki, or proper wikipedia. They’re completely different and that’s not really something you can cover in a forum post.
i just wonder know, how that such setting will effect the user?
in term of speed, data transmission and etc…
This is like Loch Ness monster … anyone can pretend they saw it… but no one actually can prove it. ![]()
And when they can’t prove it they send you to look in the archives because “it’s too big to fit in a post”.
If anybody has results before and after switching from WDS to MPLS: PLEASE share them.
I personally switched from WDS to MPLS/VPLS on two GROOVE units and got 10% decrease in routeros’ bandwidth tests (traffic passing through the devices, not directly on them).
Unfortunately I didn’t had the ocassion to test the real speed from a PC on MPLS (in WDS mode I get around 19-20 Mbps with one connection and around 30 Mbps with two parallel streams).
