cnWave provides consistent high bandwidth internet in dense urban environment. It is a 60GHz, multi-node wireless Software Defined Network (SDN) that enables high-speed internet connectivity in multiple environments. cnWave is a high-speed backbone network to which other networks are connected.
throughput numbers provided above are bidirectional numbers considering 50/50 for uplink and downlink in mesh network. There is a plan to support asymmetric throughput in future for PTP links.
Tools used-
Iperf version 3.7 for bidirectional support (widely used)
I have a V3000 to V3000 PtP link with a 661 meter distance. I recently upgraded to software version 1.2.2 and wanted to test the new channel bond feature. The POP is running E2E controller onboard.
I wanted to use the devices to test, and I wish there was a “link capacity test” like the PMP450 product line. I came across this post and discovered the next best thing for what I need.
I used PuTTY to SSH into both sides of the link, with the same username and password as the web interface.
On the POP side I ran:
service iperf -s
On the CN side I ran:
service iperf -c [ipv6 of PoP] -i1 -fm -w128k -P 16 --bidir
Then retrieved the output on the CN:
system iperf show
Some of the output is shown below (it looks like it runs several iterations).
I had to SSH into the POP a second time to shut down the iperf service, using the command:
system iperf kill
system iperf clear
I don’t know how much of what I discovered is “proper” so to speak, but thought it might help someone else who wanted to test without downloading software onto multiple computers, or else just wanted a unit-to-unit test.
In fact, if Cambium would take a suggestion, it would be great to incorporate a test like this into the web UI. It’s clear that the units themselves can support it using the CLI.
In addition to the throughput test on the unit, please try the combination of 1.2.2.1 and cnMaestro X 4.1.0, not only do you have access to the throughput testing many other features.
Plus I hope you are using the latest 1.2.2.1 official release now.
BTW what throughput did you get on the V3000 with the Channel Bonding switched on?
