<DIV>dear Michael ,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>i do not think it is one of million ideas, since it is
unique and relevant under the assumption of lossy link.
</DIV>
<DIV>another relevant piece of work that you may want cite to
improve this draft is the icnp08 paper:</DIV>

Steenkiste</A>: <BR><B>Improving Wireless LAN Performance via Adaptive Local
Error Control. </B>327-338</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>which very clearly explains that you have to design a good wireless link so
that losses not due to congestion should not be relevant (indeed this is the
case in current 3G systems obtained via ARQ). this is old stuff today,
already documented in RFC 3819 - Advice for Internet Subnetwork Designers, by P.
Karn.</DIV>
