Subject: [16NG] regarding my comments on MTUs

As a clarification of my comments during the WG meeting I would like to
state the following:

From AD perspective the WG is free to decide whatever MTU value that you
wish to have, as long as you are both aware of and document the
implications of this choice. Some of the implications include:

- difficulty of manual configuration
- ability to raise/lower the values automatically
- capability of 802.16 backhaul networks to handle larger MTUs (ipcs,
ethcs, wimax and non-wimax)
- ability or inability to determine what network you are in
- inability of L2 devices to send ICMP messages

Hope this clarifies,

Jari
