[WISPA] MT interface bonding

2011-11-14 Thread Patrick D. Nix, Jr
Will bonding interfaces of 2 Rocket M5 Dish units result in full duplex
transmission?  We are needing to increase the backhaul throughput of one
of our links.  The obvious answer is to convert to a licensed full
duplex unit  (which we plan to do) but in the meantime to get by will
bonding interfaces fix our issue?  We are getting about 45-50 mbps
duplex mode on a single unit (using the built in speed test), if we bond
two we are assuming that we will see 90-100mbps and hopefully full
duplex instead of half.

No. For a secondary radio or backup connection only.  You can't even control it.

No.  You will need to set one up as tx and one as rx.  Bonding just
uses them both for tx/rx.  The best way that I know to do this is with
OSPF and Mikrotik.  That way one link is always tx and the other is
rx.

As far as performance is concerned which will offer the better end result? 
Bonding or routing the interfaces?  Can you elaborate on how to use ospf to 
create dedicated tx / rx interfaces?  We use ospf currently to facilitate a 
self-healing network.

Thanks for the help and advice :)

Re: [WISPA] MT interface bonding

2011-11-14 Thread Josh Luthman
Since bonding would require the bridges be WDS, I would suggest
routing would offer a bit more speed.

The OSPF on your network won't matter, just be sure not to overlap
subnets.  What you do is set the costs so one link is always tx while
the other is rx.  The link details how to do it.

Which would give the better experience?   When I run duplex speed test with 
Rocket M5 I see 36ish Up and 45ish down.  When I run transmit only (which would 
equate to down) I see 70 mbps.

Re: [WISPA] MT interface bonding

2011-11-14 Thread Patrick D. Nix, Jr
Right, so what I am thinking is if I run routed full duplex my download
should go to 70mbps and my latency should drop based on my speed tests
if I am understanding this right.  One other question, I understand how
to configure the routers except for one thing, this will be at our core
backhaul just before it enters our fiber, so it is the default route for
internet traffic on one of the routers.  Should I add a second MT to
handle the OSPF and then plug ether3 of that router into the main MT
router, or can I somehow send my traffic from the two routed interfaces
to the default route?  I hope this makes sense J

If you follow my documentation correctly, the two Mikrotik ether1
ports will act like a transparent bridge, so more like a PTP600 (in
the ethernet not screwing with MACs, going above layer 2 sense).  If
you just have one backhaul between fiber and core router, being the
link discussed here, there isn't a reason to get complicated.

 Which would give the better experience?   

It depends on what you need.  If more it's just more throughput, then
either will likely give you what you need.  Both can give you failover
capability.  OSPF will act more like FDX, though it is not true FDX.  My
advice is to use what you're most comfortable with from the technical
perspective.  

OSPF uses path cost to simulate the FDX behavior.  Bonding uses a round
robin approach and failure detection to aggregate traffic over the
links.  I've done both and both work well.
