Basically, I'm given data in an unknown form and being asked for a given amount of data. The rest of the protocol is not up to me, so I cannot make any assumption on what my layer will transmit. From what I see, the layers above are designed to cope with the fact that I only give as much data as I have when I'm being asked for it so there are no issues here. It's just that switching to line mode or not depending on the content is not possible, my layer must not have this sort of intelligence. This is because it allows to write other layers that use other transportation protocols such as Serial port, UDP, bluetooth and so on...
