N was introduced in #3630 to describe how a sender might pace at a rate that allows it to send a congestion window's worth of data in a period that is shorter than an RTT. This PR clarifies text that goes into unnecessary detail, trying to describe assumptions (the network is spreading the packets out, for example, resulting in an ack clock).

I tend to think this is a useful way to think of pacing for window based congestion controllers, which is why I suggested it be added. We can talk later.

I'll do a new one to explain choice of N.
