Just trying to see if Cambium has recommendations on the setup for the RFC 2544. I have ran several test on multiple PTP solutions and sometimes the latency, jitter and frame loss exceed the expected values. I know this radios has limitations in the processing of frames 13000 pps regardless the frame size. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks,

RFC2544 tests should be just hinting some limits of these devices.

If you need to assure better parameters, then you may consider using licensed spectrum, full-duplex, non-adaptative modulation scheme devices. So maybe not PTP at all!
