WISP 250B connected to Mikrotik CCR (Cloud Core Router)...

Hi,

I've got a Mikrotik CCR (Cloud Core Router) - the newish white one with the tile lcd display. So far, so good. (It's a CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, and the CPU usage graph never shows more than 4% utilisation, even with 100 PPP users)


However, I suspect I'm only getting an actual 70mb/s out of the Mikrotik ethernet ports.

Just to stop me going mad - I'm guessing this is a pretty standard configuration - has anyone seen far faster?

And would switching to using the SFP ports help? Or bonding two lines from each?

Many thanks in advance,

Best regards,

You should be able to get nearly 1000 mbps out of those ports.

Bill are you feeding the WS with the MT and then feeding 100M radios?

If so you may need to enable Flow Control on the uplink port and the radio ports?

Can you explain to us in what situtations flow control is needed? What happens if it is always disabled?
