CAPs over Satelite

Thu Sep 14, 2017 7:11 am

Hi, i've problem using caps n capsman using satelite networks.
it's latency >500ms
Connection caps to capsman disconnected every minutes but links is okay.

"lost connection, echo timeout"

is there any configuration for keepalive timeout for caps or capsman?, users in the caps side kicked everytime it lose the connection to capsman?

are you sure you have stable connection between the CAP and the CAPsMAN?

Please try to run such script to ping the CAP board. Instead of 1.1.1.1 specify the CAP address. Then check the log and the results if before the CAP disconnection there were some ping loss.

:while (true) do {:log info ("ping ".[/ping 1.1.1.1 count=1]); :delay 1s}

not that stable, it has >10 rto sometimes.
if the traffic full, pings get worse

You could offload the AP traffic locally and use QoS to ensure the management tunnel traffic is preferred above the general WiFi, data, traffic.

My understanding is a CAPSMAN architecture creates a management tunnel and optionally tunnels all the data back to the controller under a second tunnel. I'm suggesting not tunneling the data back and protecting that management tunnel.

CAPSMAN appears to use UDP5246 and UDP5247. I'm not sure if only one of those is used for the management tunnel. You can use the port numbers to identify the traffic. You also could ensure other traffic reaches the manager reliably, like ICMP echo requests for example.
