MAC and MAC pipes #476

Open ChrisAtSamraksh opened 7 years ago

ChrisAtSamraksh commented 7 years ago

There is currently some functionality the MAC pipes are providing in respect with bookkeeping on which packets have been ACK'd properly. This is not occurring with just the MAC, however the user can still use the MAC....however if a packet is not ACK'd then things will break.

We should either remove the ability to access the MAC for the user or provide the same functionality.

I agree. I am in favor of removing accessing to the MAC directly. MACPipe is an interface to MAC with a specific payload type. Exposing this even as a passive interface is a security risk without any tangible benefits I can imagine.
