Prerequisites

The MTU size of the WiMAX module default is set to 1500 bytes. The WiMAX module is configured with a default MTU size of 1500 in order to provide for roaming of a WiMAX mobile device in an IP sub-convergence layer deployment where an access service network gateway (ASN-GW), such as a Cisco ASR 5000, is used. However, when an MTU size of 1500 bytes is configured on an Ethernet interface such as in a sub-convergence deployment of a private WiMAX infrastructure that also runs Distribution Automation as Ethernet Layer 2 traffic (as for a utility company), then it is possible that OSPFv2 adjacency goes down due to the WiMAX MTU size not matching that of the Ethernet.

Guidelines and Limitations

The following guidelines and limitations apply to configuring the WiMAX module:

Data connection can be originated only by the module.

Throughput: Due to the shared nature of wireless communications, the experienced throughput varies depending on the number of active users or congestion in a given network.

Any restrictions that are a part of the terms of service from your carrier.
