Yes, both nstreme and Nv2 are proprietary protocols developed by MikroTik to improve the performance of wireless networks, especially in point-to-point and point-to-multipoint links. Here I explain a little more about each one:

Nstreme

Nstreme is a proprietary MikroTik protocol designed to improve the performance of 802.11 wireless networks, especially in point-to-point link configurations.

This protocol increases performance and stability in wireless links by allowing the configuration of features such as polling and frame bursting.

Polling helps reduce the impact of packet collision in multi-client environments, while frame bursting allows multiple frames to be sent in a single transmission, reducing overhead and increasing link efficiency.

Lv2 (TDMA)

Nv2 is another proprietary MikroTik technology that uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) to control media access in wireless networks.

Unlike standard CSMA/CA methods used in 802.11, Nv2 allocates specific time windows for transmission to each client, resulting in better spectrum management, lower latency, and greater transmission predictability.

This makes it especially useful in point-to-multipoint networks where efficient coordination between a large number of clients is required.

Advantages and Limitations

Both nstreme and Nv2 protocols offer significant improvements in wireless network performance under specific conditions, but they also have some limitations:

• Compatibility: As they are proprietary protocols, they are only compatible with MikroTik equipment. This may limit interoperability options with third-party devices.
• Configuration and maintenance: Configuration of these protocols can be more complex than standard solutions and may require greater technical understanding and experience to optimize their performance.

These protocols are examples of how MikroTik seeks to provide solutions tailored to the specific needs of network environments, improving efficiency and performance where conventional standards may not be sufficient.
