It would be good to understand how the L2 behavior can limit
the RS synchronization.
Does anybody have an idea how this would work with IEEE 802.11 and cellular
technology as an example of the L2 effects:
 - a train full of hosts move along the track
 - there are APs/base stations along the track

How much would the L2 handovers be spread out over time?
If the hosts send a RS immediately when L2 provides a 'link-up' indication,
would that effect the L2 handover performance for the other hosts?
