Brough, I think we’ve had the same problems, however, mine resulted in late night commutes to sites just to find out the switch needed to be rebooted due to a whole slew of errors. It always seems to be with the slave side of the links. Disabling pause frames and flow control mitigated this. Though we still see the error attacks about once every week or too since. With all switches @ 1.4.9 we are still seeing the issues however. So I am still not comfortable with enabling them and FC on anything AF.

Was: MTU Chris, There is a known problem with AF24s generating a storm of pause frames under some (unknown?) circumstances. This screws up any switch. Since release 1.4.7, Netonix has software that will disable flow control if it receives such a storm of pause frames. In August 2017, we upgraded 123 Netonix switches to release 1.4.7 firmware and re-enabled flow control. Since then we've had less than a dozen occasions when flow control has been automatically disabled on a Netonix port, all associated with AF24 radios. In each case we've re-enabled flow control and everything has been fine. I don't see a pattern yet. Flow control: Whenever you have an Ethernet link connected to a wireless bridge that can pass less than the full Ethernet speed, e.g. a 1 Gbps Ethernet connected to an AF24, you need flow control, i.e. you need Ethernet pause frames so the switch doesn't over run the radio. Without flow control, you will have packet loss when the link is carrying significant traffic. Thanks, Brough Brough Turner netBlazr Inc. – Free your Broadband!

Just can figure it out. At peak times I can run TCP Btest from PC through CPE to Router on Local tower2 and get 45-50 Meg. (10Mhz channel) Btest from Router Tower2 to Router tower1 and get 200Meg. (AF5x link 250M capacity Only 50-100M used). Tower 1 Connected to GB fiber and can get 700Meg to Dist router at Core due to traffic. But from PC through all to Dist router I can only get 8 Mbps at night. During the morning when traffic is low I can get 45Mbps. So has to be buffer, retry, MTU, cpu, etc. but I cant pin point it. Ping times stay pretty stable. AMQ and AMC really good on this AP, 90%+. Giving some serious thought to Preseem.

Most towers have a MikroTik Routing, Netonix doing POE and Switching, Fed by AF5x, and Rockets or Prism for AP’s. Sometimes seeing some slow downs I cant account for. Wondering if MTU or Flow control needs adjusted. The MTU settings are as follows: MikroTik MTU: 1500 L2 MTU: 1598 Flow Disabled Netonix MTU: 1528 Both AF5x Up to 9600 Auto Flow Disabled Rocket MTU: 1500 Flow Disabled Prism MTU: 1500 Flow Disabled In your experience should any of these be adjusted?
