In one embodiment, a method is provided for evaluating reliability of a communications link between a sender and a receiver in a wireless packet data network. The method comprises transmitting a datagram or at least a fragment thereof to the receiver; responsive to a failure to receive acknowledgment of receipt of the datagram or its fragment, setting a retransmit flag of the datagram fragment and retransmitting the datagram fragment; and responsive to receipt by the receiver of the retransmitted datagram fragment, detecting that the retransmit flag thereof is set, whereby a determination may be made, responsive to the detecting, that a defect exists in the communications link.
