This feedback can be to report on reception quality, indicate loss of packets, or acknowledge receipt of data. There is a range of feedback mechanisms possible, ranging from polling to periodic multicast feedback. This document presents a taxonomy of these various mechanisms, with a discussion of the pros and cons of each approach and a discussion of applicability.}, }
