MikroTik's Nv2, or TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), protocol was designed to improve the performance and efficiency of wireless networks. It is especially useful in environments where interference and latency issues are a concern.

Unlike traditional CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)-based methods used in conventional Wi-Fi standards, Nv2 uses TDMA to allocate specific time slots for each client's data transmission, reducing collisions and improves overall network performance.

Nv2 can be used in both point-to-point (P2P) and point-to-multipoint (P2MP) configurations:

• Peer to Peer (P2P): In P2P configurations, Nv2 optimizes the connection between two MikroTik devices, resulting in lower latency and higher link efficiency, especially useful for long-distance links or applications that require high capacity and stability.
• Point to Multipoint (P2MP): Nv2 is also very effective in P2MP environments, where a single MikroTik access point communicates with multiple stations or clients. In these scenarios, Nv2's ability to dynamically assign time slots to each client as needed significantly improves network efficiency, reducing interference between clients and maximizing available throughput.

Thanks to these features, Nv2 is a popular choice for wireless internet service providers (WISPs) and for wireless network deployments in densely populated areas or in environments where stable and reliable wireless connections are preferred.

The ability to efficiently manage multiple connections makes Nv2 a robust solution for P2MP environments as well as P2P applications.
