It is TCP. We do not use UDP since it gives a reading that will never be seen by a customer doing an FTP download. We are looking at building in iperf so we should be able to do tcp or udp tests in future.
I have a network from Valemount, BC to McBride, BC that has about 100 km of repeater distances. The shot is split in half with mountain shots at each (43 km each) and about 5 km from each mountain top to the POP in each town. We can pull over 20 mbps from POP to POP. It is 8 hops and goes through 10 radios. I have pasted a speed test from the POP in Valemount to the POP in McBride. Both are Linux systems with 1 GHz or better processors that we use for firewall and bandwidth control. Also I have the traceroute to show the hops. lon-home:~/staros # starutil-1.14 10.10.29.1 password -rx rx rate: 2286 KB/sec (Press Ctrl-C to exit) lon-home:~/staros # lon-home:~/staros # traceroute 10.10.29.1 traceroute to 10.10.29.1 (10.10.29.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 192.168.250.10 0.430 ms 0.401 ms 0.496 ms 2 10.10.48.254 1.655 ms 1.447 ms 1.185 ms 3 10.10.227.254 2.686 ms 1.965 ms 5.428 ms 4 10.10.12.4 5.469 ms 3.250 ms 4.501 ms 5 10.10.47.253 4.946 ms 4.415 ms 3.581 ms 6 10.10.51.254 6.077 ms 6.472 ms 8.063 ms 7 10.14.99.254 12.615 ms * 5.777 ms 8 10.10.29.1 6.569 ms 7.295 ms 7.686 ms lon-home:~/staros # Lonnie On 4/11/06, Travis Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Lonnie, > > Is that TCP or UDP? > > Travis > Microserv > > > Lonnie Nunweiler wrote: > Using the 533 MHz IXP-420 we can get an Atheros to just over 35 mbps > of non compressible data and almost 90 mbps of compressible data. > > Lonnie > > On 4/11/06, Travis Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Dan, > > We had this discussion a few weeks ago, although it may have been on > another wireless list. > > What processor and setup are you using to get 30Mbps?
