During your indoor tests, did you managed to get precise enough timestamps to compute a significant ACK to (despite of short distances and multipaths)?
Previous tests have shown impressive bandwith gains (10% on a 9Km P2P link). Did you also get improvements in indoor environment?
Thanks,

Dynack tx/rx timestamps are snapshots of PCU's timestamps (expressed
in TSF value).

In indoor environment I got the same performance obtained with a
static ACK timeout since LER was roughly 0%. Anyway I guess dynack
should be enabled just on outdoor "long" links (like ones tested by
Philippe) since that environment is really sensitive to ACK timeout.
