Thread Index [isp-wireless] RE: P2P blocking and Mikrotik
1K/Sec ? I could only get my outbound to only go to 10K before it didn't work at all with the TT CPE-AP. I don't see how it works with that. Someone sends a long email 20-30K they will call because their email is hanging. Got a little more info on this to what your doing to fight the P2P?
