-For Case 3, the Data Path Module carries data between the NEC BTS and tbe KVM VMs.
+The data path is built to support pure layer 2 (L2) traffic to and from the Mobile Stations (MSs), even though WiMAX is inherently an IP (L3) service.

+For Cases 1 and 2, the Data Path Module carries UL and DL L2 flows between a GRE tunnel on the NEC BTS side, and a VLAN tag on the GENI Access Network side.

 The currently supported Data Path Module is the Click Modular Router, v1.6;  later, this is planned to be replaced with v1.8.
 
-The functionality of the CLICK Modular Router is set by its configuration file;  see (reference below).  This configuration file is initialzed and then updated by the Control Module.  With the current v1.6 implementation, the CLICK moduler router must be restarted after the configuration file is updated.
+The functionality of the CLICK Modular Router is shown in Fig 4.

+It is based on a dynamically configurable L2 learning switch.

+Both UL and DL data paths are automatically created and installed when MSs associate.
