[ns] NDSL WiMAX module: unlimited bandwidth?

[PatrickTheis]

Hi,

I'm using the NDSL WiMAX module (http://ndsl.csie.cgu.edu.tw/wimax_ns2.php) and 
I must admit that I don't have that much experience with ns-2.

Running a WiMAX simulation (both ns-2.31 and ns-2.29) and sending UGS traffic 
from a base station to a subscriber station, there don't seem to be any 
realistic bandwidth limits - which means that in my last simulation more than 8 
Gbit/s were transferred at a distance of 1000m (shadowing model).

Please see my tcl script below. I hope we get this working! And of course I'd 
like to exchange tips and so on when I have gained experience.

Best regards,
Patrick
