Hi Carles, all,

 Do we still need this variable MAX_ACK_REQUESTS ?
 MAX_FRAG_RETRIES is going to be the same (during retransmission we only
send the last fragment of the received bitmap which would be considered
as ACK REQUEST). correct?

 if this is already discussed in the thread of Dominique's review please
point me to the same.

thanks,
