I have a point to point wireless link of 7Mbps to my DR which is 5 km away, when I transfer a 5GB file on this point to point link it never gets succeed, it stop in between by some error , when the copy is going on the bandwidth get fully utilized and I see the upload speed goes up and down sometimes 7mbps 8mbps 4 mbps and son on and then after sometime it disconnects with some error as mentioned above, Though the pipe get's fully utilized the copy should not break though it will take days to copy on 7 Mbps please correct me if I'm wrong , what can be cause of this issue link instability,

Also please suggest me the backup from HO to DR should not be on wireless link if I'm not wrong becz in  wireless we gets many disconnects ??

Interference along with fresnel clearance can cause poor link connection. Your link on 2.4ghz vs 5ghz can also be an issue. What are you using for equipment and what frequency is the link on?

This could also be caused by a firewall which terminates your connection, because it's too long open. Or also various transmission applications tend to terminate a to long running connection.
