interval = smoothed_rtt * packet_size / congestion_window / N

Using a value for `N` that is small, but at least 1 (for example, 1.25) ensures
that variations in round-trip time don't result in under-utilization of the
congestion window.
Using a value for N that is low, but at least 1 (for example, 1.25) ensures that
variations in round-trip time don't result in under-utilization of the
congestion window. Note that a higher N results in the inter-packet interval
becoming smaller, and a large enough N defeats purpose of pacing.

Practical considerations, such as packetization, scheduling delays, and
computational efficiency, can cause a sender to deviate from this rate over time
