Of course it wont get any near 1 gb i know that. In a real scenario this would make a differnece... in my lab it wont. As the maximum teorical throughput its 600... 300 for each band.. i know that...
I mean when you get other things like more APS traffic in the network... Which is the client scenario...
In my lab Im getting 18.5 and its GREAT its what i expect......
now thing is that those were the results
Bridge mode = total throughput i expect
AP on tunel mode like 14 which is less...
Naturally the Traffic goes from the AP to the wireless controller then to the CORE switch, then it send it to the destination, then it send it back to the core switch and then it send it to the controller and then it send it back inside the tunnel bakc to the AP...
Now im loosing throughput doing all that...
I just don twant you get the worng im idea im lost in this... i know what you mean when you telling me the thorughput wont get near close the 1 giga i just wasnt thinking when i said it in a single AP and a single client, i was thinking in the real enviroment which is like 16 APS. All APS going to the maximum can bottle neck the single gigabit interface between the controller and the switchore... it was just a misunderstanding though.
Now my real questoin would be
What snould be the throughput i should expect from a AP that is tunneling to the controller?
I guess the asnwer would be that it totally depends...
Depends that all the uplinks are giga... and much better if they are doing LAGG. How many other traffic is going through that single interface that goes from the switch that the AP is plugged to the switch core?
But when i did the test all the interfeces between the AP and the Wireless controller which i had something liek this
WC---SWCORE--SWL2----AP
You actually have to take in mind many things when deploying the APS, in which Switches you will put it... as it could be a 10/100/1000 48 ports switch which is plugged with just 1 giga internface to the core... if for some reason the other ports start doing a file transfer whcih flood that link between the SWCORE And the SWL2 then your througput is going down... anwyay seven if you put it on bridge mode... thats why i suggest putting LAGG everywhere i can.
Plus the downgraade i already tested it and the results were the same.
At the end on the client even if the throughput was around 12-15 which is great, he still saw the windows thing doing difference speed on the client which he can see and he didnt liked it.... at the end he just got another AP inside his office.... now he does not see it and now he is happy...
I just keep the discussion open becasuse well its interesing...
And from this i learn that i should just ignore what the windows says...
