We have a problem with Microtic ver. 2.9.6; and wireless interface (SR5)
on (P4 on 3 GHz, mb Intel)
We make link over a distance of 45 km with the following hardware (P4,
on 3 GHz , mb Intel, Microtic ver. 2.9.6; )
and 3 wireless interface (SR5)
When we use just one wireless interface (SR5) the parametres are:
signal strength = -55/-55 , 5 Gh Turbo , nstreme enable, bandwide test - in both directions shows 37/37 mbit/s ; ccq=113/113
When we add second card in the same configuration bandwidth test in both directions shows 33/33 mbit/s
When we add third card in the same configuration the transfer bandwidth
test - in both directions shows 26/26 mbit/s
So when we have only one card everything is ok, but when we
add another card on the machine the bandwide just falls down.
When we test it on another machine the situation was the same
We test the cards on a different frequency, but nothing different happened -
bandwide is still lower when 3 cards are used
We use network bridge with every wireless on a different Lan card ,because
we need to transmit tagged VLAN s
When we use 3 wireless interfaces on one machine the CPU usage is about 60% and the traffic is about 25/10 on every line.
So do you have any ideas why the things go in this way?
Is there some kind of software or hardware limit?
Is it possible the PCI bus of the main board to cost this limitation?
We will be gratefull if you give some answers ,helping us to solve the
problem.
