Julian,
Thank you for posting this. Often things like this are better received
coming from a manufacturer than from a lobbying association. I would also
like to thank Motorola for their technical expertise as we discussed and
responded to the TDWR database RFP with Spectrum Bridge.
I'm running AirOS V5.2.1-RC2 (which is the latest as of yesterday)
It happened with the factory firmware and the RC1 as well.
The issue also occurs with my laptop running btest or any type of ping
flood.
I have 6 cat5 runs up one of the towers, Motorola works fine and I have
switched cables,
In our case we had a switch we put ³inline² and that made no difference.
I figured it might have been an issue with the 493G board. We used to see
issues with Tranzeo and 450Gs so I figured it might be similar. Putting the
switch in did not help. Cable run is only about 20 feet. It is

You can always add some light structure to the underside of the roof

If you have a ring, don't do layer 3. Use L2 switch that have some

An usual combination is Extreme pizza boxes with EAPS ring-protection,
2 Juniper M7i routers with VRRP, but many others will
We've built Supermicro 1U Atom boxes for under $600 to use as DNS servers.
That was with 2x 2.5 inch hard drives.
You'd probably run RouterOS off of a USB stick instead.
That would save you around $120.
Not much of a point to the RB1000 when a 1U Atom box is cheaper and
can run rings around it in
That might be my next step. Interesting though - a couple years ago, I
originally had a high end PC (for it's time - Athon 64 Dual-core X2 4200+
with 4GB of memory) running RouterOS. Swapped it out for a RB450G and in my
opinion, the little 450G kicked the PC's butt. So now I'm skeptical.
On Wed,
I fear winter coming, and I have a location where a nanobridge M5 was used ?
Any experience with ice build-up on a nanobridge without a radome ?
I suppose this is the main reason for choosing a power bridge M5 and paying the
additional 200+$ per end.
Opinion ?
F.
Last one I built was less than $400. CPU on the RB1000 was over 30%
compared to 10% on the ATOM unit, exact same traffic.

Any of the X86 based systems are going to kill the RB platform we
have an X86 system moving 500Mbps of traffic (400Mbps x 100Mbps) on a
daily basis... connection tracking on, queues, NAT rules, etc. and the
CPU runs at 11% all day long. :)

No to be a smart ass... But it looks like we are going to learn from
your experience... I don't think NBM5's have been around long enough
for a full winter cycle..
PBM5 is a nice flat square panel.. but it is much larger than the
NBM5.. more of a replacement for the 30in Rocket Dish than an
I cannot find the PPS rating on RB1100... so if you know would love to
compare...

RB1100 says 121000 PPS @ 64 KBytes with Conntrack and Firewall (80 mbps) On and
11 PPS @ 1500Bytes (1.3 gbps)
But again, this is a
For the switch chip in the RB1100, I have some PPS numbers that I got
from testing with a Spirent test set (same gear Cisco, etc use to
determine their PPS numbers.)
Keep in mind I'm still learning it so there may be some problem in my
methodology. (Open SmartWindow, click test. :-) )
Half duplex
Half duplex eth6 to eth7. Eth6 is master-port for eth7.

This is 100M, isn't it ? 1Gbps connection could provide more, I think.

Oh duh. That's line rate at 100M.
The chopped packets must have been a negotiation side effect from
going between 100M and Gig interfaces.
I feel much better about it now, and quite stilly to have missed that.
