============================================================================
-2.1 Link Quality
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The link quality between a directed node pair (A,B) is the probability
-that a packet transmitted by A will be successfully received by B. The
-bidirectional link quality of an undirected node pair (A,B) is the
-product of the link quality of (A,B) and (B,A). This definition
-assumes independent link losses. It also includes the case when
-the link quality of (A,B) and (B,A) are different; this can occur
-due to local interference or noise.
-
-2.2 In-bound Link Quality
+2.1 In-bound Link Quality
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In a node pair (A,B), with B as the node of reference, in-bound link
quality is a value in the range of 0 to 255 that describes the quality
of the link from A to B estimated by B by counting the successfully
-received packets from A among all the transmitted packets or using
-link quality indicators such as LQI and RSSI provided by the radio on
-the node B, or some other methods.
+received packets from A among all the packets transmitted by B.
-2.3 Out-bound Link Quality
+2.2 Out-bound Link Quality
--------------------------------------------------------------------
In a node pair (A,B), with B as the node of reference, out-bound link
qualities. LEEP is the protocol that is used to exchange the in-bound
link qualities.
+2.3 Link Quality
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The link quality between a directed node pair (A,B) is the probability
+that a packet transmitted by A will be successfully received and
+acknowledged by B. The bidirectional link quality of an undirected
+node pair (A,B) is the product of the link quality of (A,B) and
+(B,A). This definition assumes independent link losses. It also
+includes the case when the link quality of (A,B) and (B,A) are
+different; this can occur due to local interference or noise.
