[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

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. http://stfunoo.be/?p=696 Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100

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 :) Patrick

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. Josh

You can also look at the Arris C3 CMTS, it's EOL'd, but you can get them refurbished. I would also stick with Cisco if you can make it work, the uBR7246 is pretty reasonable on the refurb market. On 11/8/2011 7:13 PM, Kevin Owen wrote: I think we would like the Cisco better as well… however I

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. Patrick Nix, Jr., Computer Network Solutions CSWEB.NET Internet Services IT Manager

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

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
