Abstract
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.
