发送一个帧所需的平均传输次数

In some networks, the data link layer handles transmission errors by requesting damaged frames to be retransmitted. If the probability of a frame's being damaged is p, what is the mean number of transmissions required to send a frame? Assume that acknowledgements are never lost.

在某些网络中，数据链路层通过请求重传损坏的帧来处理传输错误。如果一个帧被损坏的概率是p，发送一个帧所需的平均传输次数是多少?假设确认永远不会丢失。

答：1/(1-p)
