 * It is important to realize that "recovery" mode starts after failure of

 * transmission. Specifically, recovery mode spans retransmissions boundaries.
 * Fundamentally, ARF handles each data transmission independently, whether it
 * is the initial transmission of a packet or the retransmission of a packet.
 * The fundamental reason for this is that there is a backoff between each data
 * transmission, be it an initial transmission or a retransmission.
