Added 8/Mar/2005

[BA] Overall, my take is that this document does not clearly distinguish Link Establishment/Termination events from "Up"/"Down" link state changes. As I understand it, DNA cares mostly about Link Establishment events, not about whether a link is encountering low or high frame loss at a given instant. In DNA, bi-directional reachability at the IP layer determines whether a link is suitable for use, so that link quality monitoring is not required.

It is important for the document to clarify the usage of terms, since the definition of the "Up" and "Down" link states can be somewhat murky in wireless networks. Please see: "The Mistaken Axioms of Wireless Network Research": http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/decouto/papers/kotz03.pdf
