I am afraid that I am not totally aware of what iphb does. If it just
delays the ACKs to minimize the data transmission, it should work fine
by reconfiguring the value according to our requirements. According to
to proposal, the wireless interface sleep times can be maximized by
modifying the values of the congestion window in the ACK.

Can you refer to me any documentation about iphb?
