Re: [Roll] I-D Action: draft-ietf-roll-applicability-home-building-10.txt

Hi Joakim,

thanks for your remark.
A channel models the transport through space of e/m waves between two 
interfaces.
An asymmetric channel corresponds with asymmetric transport.

I prefer channel over link, as link usually does not include the concept 
of transport.
I agree that opinions may differ, but the text is clear as it is?

Concerning ETX.
The authors and other people generally recommend ETX. Do you have a 
better proposal backed up by evidence?
I will be happy to hear about it.

Greetings,

peter
