Subject: Re: [quicwg/base-drafts] Recommend algorithm for packet scheduler, rather than implementation (#3122)

We had tried to provide a clearer definition of pacing here:
https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/pull/3351

This includes specification for how long should an implementation wait between two consecutive bursts:
`To effectively avoid creating these large packet bursts, a sender SHOULD also
 enforce a minimum time between sending the above mentioned bursts. To
 achieve high throughput while at the same time minimizing the bursts it is
 considered safe to wait for (RTT * maximum_burst_size / (cwnd * 2)) seconds
 between each burst (multiplying the congestion window by two allows the
 the rate to increase during slow-start).`

If the text in #3351 looks close to what we want, I can recreate the PR and we can go from there.
