Well help me out here.  It seems to me that the protocol, as described,
is an oxymoron.  I.e., without a closed loop there's no flow control
and if the protocol is a true unreliable packet flow (e.g., UDP) there's
no loop.

So, I ask, is the plan for UDP with acks?  (I.e., the packet may not get
there, but if it does, the sender hears about it).  Or are we talking
something wilder?
