Summary
The MikroTik Packet Packer Protocol (M3P) optimizes the data rate usage of links using protocols
that have a high overhead per packet transmitted. The basic purpose of this protocol is to better
enable wireless networks to transport VoIP traffic and other traffic that uses small packet sizes of
around 100 bytes.
M3P features:
• enabled by a per interface setting
• other routers with MikroTik Discovery Protocol enabled will broadcast M3P settings
• significantly increases bandwidth availability over some wireless links by approximately four
times
• offer configuration settings to customize this feature
