This document provides advice to the designers of digital
communication equipment and link-layer protocols employing link
layer Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) techniques.  This document
presumes that the designers wish to support Internet protocols, but
may be unfamiliar with the architecture of the Internet and with the
implications of their design choices on the performance and
efficiency of Internet traffic carried over their links.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
