The peer might report acknowledgment delays that are larger than the peer's
max_ack_delay during the handshake (Section 13.2.1 of {{QUIC-TRANSPORT}}). To
account for this, the endpoint SHOULD ignore max_ack_delay until the handshake
is confirmed, as defined in Section 4.1.2 of {{QUIC-TLS}}. When they occur, these large
acknowledgment delays are likely to be non-repeating and limited to the
handshake. The endpoint can therefore use them without limiting them to the

these large acknowledgment delays are likely to be non-repeating and limited to

max_ack_delay, avoiding unnecessary inflation of the RTT estimate.

Note, however, that a large acknowledgment delay can result in a substantially
inflated smoothed_rtt, if there is either an error in the peer's reporting of
the acknowledgment delay or in the endpoint's min_rtt estimate. Therefore,
prior to handshake confirmation, an endpoint MAY ignore RTT samples if adjusting
