2535 * This example still uses ACK packets, but they have no payloads. Instead the
2536 * acknowledging response is sent with `write()`. This tactic allows for more
2537 * updated acknowledgement payload data, where actual ACK payloads' data are
2538 * outdated by 1 transmission because they have to loaded before receiving a
2539 * transmission.

2541 * This example was written to be used on 2 devices acting as "nodes".
2542 * Use `ctrl+c` to quit at any time.
