But isn´t it a source for delay variation?

Craig, if you told me that RTO estimation is a solved problem in 
wirebound networks and an open issue in wireless ones, I would love you 
for that.... (Oh, I apologize, we´re not really in the cage of folles 
here....;-))

In that case, it would be sufficient to hide wireless delay variations 
from the wirelebound network. Right?

(I always talk about wide area mobile wireless networks, not WLAN etc., 
but if you talk about channel access delays, we apparently talk about 
the same thing.)

However: would it be at least _helpful_ to seperate latency variations 
in wirebound and wireless network paths?
