Can you elaborate why it is more manageable to change TCP as compared
to the link layer. What if link layer adaptation is sufficient
to yield decent performance - should we still adapt TCP instead?
I like to think not.
    (granted that link layer alone may not yield optimal
    performance in all scenarios, but it would in some).
