DLS vs carrier pigeon!

As I said in the OT thread on this...

Retrans would be a big problem. It's asynchronous with no reliable carrier. The ACN protocol at layer1and 2 is inherently unreliable. So we'll have to rely on the network layer, L3, which provides no guarantee of delivery. Normally L1 and L2 (send/receive and addressing from sender to receiver) would be good. But there is none of that with the ACN protocol.

So we're at L3, reachability. Based on the fubarred L1/L2 this is problematic as we cannot rely on L1/L2. So at the base these two layers cannot be trusted. L3 can be because is needs L1/L2. Next we have L4, the important one. In my professional opinion is that L4 will suffer severe transport problems as the L1/2/3 won't fly.

What about packet loss?

That's the responsibility of the transport, L4, layer. Otherwise it's up to the application layer.

connection-oriented vs. connection-less.
