If you are using the QOS in the AP, I think the linktest will only use what is not already consumed by the SM. It's not intrusive like the FSK/450 test was.

On an SM with no other traffic, I always see the linktest to be what the QOS is set to.

I have just started upgrading sites to 4.4.3, and have some EPMP3000 AP's out there. Randomly now, I will have an sm return 'linktest failed' when testing an EPMP1000SM to and EPMP3000 AP. Then the next text will work fine.

This has not been our experience. We do not rate-limit at the SM. We primarily rate-limit PPPoE at the core. We've found that our speedtest are usually 10-15% below the linktest results.

    No example we'll get link tests at 80Mbps or higher and then their
    package is set to 25Mbps.  We can see they are doing 20Mbps during
    the evenings etc.  But when we go do a speed test anywhere it'll
    be 8 no matter what.

    I've confirmed the shaping of their connection is set to 100% to
    be sure.

    Linktest you mean?  I've found it's 10% within TCP/UDP capacity.
    I'm exclusively 3.5.6 on epmp1000/2000 - no 4.x yet

        Anyone have issues with certain model ePMP's not being able to
        get their speed tests?  Even though their link tests are fine
        and more than capable, and we see customers traffic going much
        higher than the speed tests!  It won't matter where we run the
        speed tests,  they are always low.

It only seems to be a handful of epmp radios. Not all. Mainly on 4.4.3 firmware.

        We have been scratching our heads on this one.
