LAN-LAN bandwidth with 1310 Bridge

recep.sefer

Level 1

I setup LAN-LAN bridge in my lab. with 1310(integ. antenna)

iperf.exe test results maximum 13 mbit/sec

any idea?

Hii ,

Iperf shows you the throughput from client to server , which depends on various factors like interference , type of traffic etc

To make sure bridge connectivity is at best data rates (54 Mbps), use the command

"show dot11 association" and check at what data rate the bridge is connected when you are getting this throughput.

before I test the same over 100 mbit switch

(wired-connectivity)

result is 78 mbit bandwidth.

Below is "show dot..." and runnig config

As shown current rate is 54mbit

Signal is very good

I expect nearly 30-40 mbit bandwidth

13 mbit is very low for my opinion

Yes , you are right . 54 is the highest rate at which the connectivity can happen.

Please check the channel utilization and interference level for the channel in use.

You can try "dot11 interface-number carrier busy"

Also which tests are you doing using Iperf , TCP or UDP . IF udp try different packet sizes.

I test following, any idea?

ap#dot11 dot11Radio 0 carrier busy

ap#sh dot11 carrier busy

Frequency Carrier Busy %

Hi,

Since wireless runs half-duplex you can manage to get upto 27 mbps on a 54 mbps link.But you are getting 13 mbps. The output of this command clearly explains the reason.The output shows that the interference levels are very high in the wireless environment.This is the root cause of the degradation in the throughput.You can try to use the channel with lowest interference.channel 2472. You can lock this channel by this command:

AP(config-if)#channel 2472

And make sure (if you can)to ask the other wireless deployers in the proximity to use some other channel to reduce the interference for your mutual benefit.

Cheers,

Manish
