Re: Short Range - High Bandwidth Backhaul

Looking at your first post, I am thinking that the reason you use seperate RB333 boards for each radio is for maximum throughput through the board.

On your second post, you mention using an RB450, but they have no slots for cards?

Thank you !

Since we have a Tik at every tower, does it make sense to use it as a caching server to speed things up a little bit?

If so, how much of the resources will it use, say on a 532 or 600? Is there a parameter to specify how much memory or resources go to it?
