yes, the protocol sends all unacknowledged blocks in a loop until all
blocks are acknowledged and the tbf is complete.

if there is a continuous download (opening a web page), there should be
almost no re-sends unless the window stalls or the download is complete.
in case of a ping with several small tbfs, there are re-sends due to the
delay between PCU and the radio interface: the PCU sends the final block
of a tbf (polling bit set) and then waits for PACKET DOWNLINK ACK/NACK.
higher delay will cause more re-sends for each tbf at the end, so
smaller tbf will cause more percentage of re-sends.
