We have started using a lot of Mikrotik's for customer (mainly 2011's for customers these days, and seeing something that seems a bit odd.
We NAT the customers obviously. We hook our radio to Ether1 on the router and then bridge ports 2-5. We have tried both SRC-NAT and Masquerade with the same results. Here is what we see. We have three test "servers" that we use for bandwidth tests. The first is an Ookla test on a test server inside our network . The second is a TIK located inside our network. The third is speedtest.net. There is very little variance in all three of these, so you will quote a combined average for discussion purposes. When we test from the TIK itself to our test TIK, we get about 100% of what we should be getting based on the customer BW restrictions at the core. In this example, let's say 8 Mbit. When we test from the NAT'd side of the Tik, the most we see on ONE connection is about 4.5Mbit to 5Mbit, using the ookgla and speedtest.net. If I run TWO devices from the NAT'd side at the same time, I get about 90% to 95% of the 8 Mbit. I can bypass the customer's TIK, statically put the public IP in a laptop and get the full 8 Mbit. I have seen this at several of the customer installs we do and it leaves me scratching my head (after several hours of fiddling with the TIK hoping for a different result). What could it be?
