Comment(by mbletsas):

 David,

 Can you describe your test setup?
 There are no end to end layer-2 ACKs in the mesh (there are hop  to hop
 ones) and in a busy wireless medium it is expected that you will see frame
 loss due to buffering time outs in intermediate nodes (i.e. if an
 intermediate node cannot succesfuly transmit a frame for 2 sec, it has to
 drop it).

 M.
