No - it's a MAC and PHY layer. It doesn't care about TCP or UDP,
only MAC layer things like unicast and multicast, and the required
management/control glue to make it all work. Have a look at section
6.1.1.3, which notes that most unicast traffic is ACKed, but broadcast
and multicast is not. Section 9 describes a good bit of the MAC,
and 9.2.8 the ACKing procedure.
