Hi,
Our primary tower has 1 CPU with the following cards; 1 AG520, and 4 Senaos in AP mode. 2 of the Senao's are backhauls (PTP links), and the other 2 are APs with ~20 clients per.
I just read in another thread that Prism cards behave differently and 'poll' the CPU. Do the hermes cards not do this?
I was planning on putting the AG520 in it's own CPU, to get the primary backhaul out of the CPU handling the other backhauls... but now I'm thinking that each backhaul needs it's own CPU if it is Prism based. I probably won't do that though because in a few more weeks ALL my backhauls on this tower will be 5.8ghz.
I'm not noticing anything bad in the way of proecssor utilization, but every once in a while there is 1-2% packetloss on any of the APs, but I always assumed that was due to the 1,4,7,11 channel overlap... now I'm wondering if it ALSO might be due to the CPU polling going on.
It's a celeron 1200mhz with 128mb ram.
