## Sending data after an idle period

A sender is considered idle if it has no bytes in flight. A sender can become
idle when it is application limited and has no data to send, or when it marks
packets as lost (and therefore not in flight).

Can this also happen when all packets are acknowledged? I'm not sure what the preferred behavior is in that case. But the current text now properly captures the "my last PTO was acked and everything else was declared lost."

Yes, that is a fine case ... this is what we've always had, the RTO text was incorrect. Basically the sender goes idle as soon as bytes in flight goes to 0. Maybe that's all we need to say. I've removed more text to make this clearer.


A sender's congestion window MUST not increase while it is idle.
