Hi,

triggered by your comment about the credit window system of DLEP I got
another question.

If I understand DLEP right it handles a credit window per neighbor. How
do we handle the common usecase where we have a radio with a "sender
window", which means we have credits for sending data, but not to a
specified receiver.

Lets say our radio (because of some TDMA waveform) has an outgoing
credit window of 1000 bytes.

Do we set the credit window of every neighbor to 1000 bytes? This would
mean we might get 1000 bytes for every neighbor, which is too much.

Do we distribute the 1000 bytes among our neighbors? This would prevent
any outgoing traffic to use the full 1000 bytes.

I think this should be considered before we build a Credit Window Scheme 
into DLEP that is not applicable for this use case.
