Also note that the feedback doesn't always have to be from the actual transport protocol: just observing packets flowing in both directions will tell you that all is well.
well, this wouldn't really tell you that the path is working for sure, right?
Node A could be sending and receiving while there is a failure, but in that case, B wouldn't be receiving data. So if both sides do this, it works well.
