## Pacing {#pacing}

A sender SHOULD pace sending of all in-flight packets based on input from the
congestion controller. Sending multiple packets into the network without any
delay between them creates a packet burst that might cause short-term congestion
and losses.

A sender SHOULD either use pacing or another method to limit such bursts to the
initial congestion window; see {{initial-cwnd}}. A sender with prior knowledge
that the network path to the receiver has deep buffers might allow larger
bursts.

An implementation should take care to architect its congestion controller to
work well with a pacer. For instance, a pacer might wrap the congestion
