RocketM5 100 BASE-TX : so is 100Mbit the max speed?

[dconn]

Hi all,

If the RocketM5 has a 100 BASE-TX Ethernet Interface (as per the PDF datasheet) how is it possible to get up to "150+ Mbps real tcp/ip thoughput" ?

I'm only looking this stuff up now because I'm planning on deploying a big installation with Ubiquiti gear and very hopeful that all goes well.

thanks,

D

it's up to 150Mbps both ways wich mean's the end users will be lucky to see 100Mbps if you search the forum there's a lot more info on it

the same questions come up over and over and over again

And again!

yeah but its ok as long as my post count go's up lol

I know I can burst just over 100Mbps TCP on a 5mi link nLOS with BulletM5's and 2' dishes on either end using iperf. Rockets, obviously, even better! =) Multiple streams and aggregate bandwidth. The M products make for one hell of a link (low ping times even when loaded).

Just think, if Ubiquity made Ethernet cards they wouldn't advertise them as 10/100/1000 Ethernet cards the Ubiquity Ethernet cards would be 20/200/2000.


No, because ethernet standard is full duplex and 802.11 standard is half duplex.

Hello,

Please take the time to google the difference between half duplex wireless radios and full duplex Ethernet.

Thanks,

Pretty much all of the half-duplex wireless systems out there advertise their aggregate capacity.

Ethernet, ADSL, and full-duplex wireless radios generally advertise their speed in only one direction, not aggregate

ahh I c. So when you force your GigE Nic to half duplex it becomes a 2 GigE.

No, it would become 1000MB half-duplex (or 500MB aggregate, IIRC).
