Code: Select all
Point A<--39MBps-->Point B<--39MBps-->PointC<--39MBps-->Point D
|<-------------36MBps------------->| |
|<-----------------------33MBps--------------------->|
Any suggestions?
P.S.: not a CPU problem
Lower throughput at each hop
I have the following situation:
As you can see each hop lower the throughput with 3 MBps. All devices are wireless bridges....
Any suggestions?

Let me explain.... I'm using n-streme over 3 50+ km links...802.11 has a built in ack time that makes the link go slower over distance. Nstreme protocol addresses this bottleneck and a few others.

From Point A to Point B I've got 39 MBps.
From Point B to Point C I've got 39 MBps.
From Point A to Point C I've got 36 MBps bridged in Point B. I mean I've got no direct connection betwwen Point A and Point C

Well if your network is completely bridged then EVERY node on your network recieves a message "hey did you request this packet" and they have to respond "nope sure didn't" or "yep that was me" basically you have one big collision domain, you need to route between MT's (OSPF is awesome) that will decrease broadcast traffic and only the requesting node will recieve the traffic increasing throughput and bandwidth!

Your network would end up looking like this...
A (10.0.0.1) <-> (10.0.0.2) B (10.0.1.1) <-> (10.0.1.2) C (10.0.2.1) <-> (10.0.2.2) D
If you route between AP's it gives you a much more granual level of control on your network (firewalling between APs dropping traffic like netbios from being sent over your network). It also decreases the broadcast/collision domain so you cut out alot of the broadcast traffic (NetBIOS is broadcasted to every node on the broadcast domian).
