If a peer could time out within a Probe Timeout -(PTO; see Section 6.6 of {{QUIC-RECOVERY}}), it is advisable to test for -liveness before sending any data that cannot be retried safely.

Note that it is likely that only applications or +application protocols will know what information can be retried. This is still a bit hard to read. I'll suggest the following text instead: ``` An endpoint that sends packets close to the effective timeout risks having them be discarded at the peer, since the peer might enter its draining state before these packets arrive. An endpoint can send a PING or another ack-eliciting frame to test the connection for liveness if the peer could time out soon, such as within a PTO (see Section 6.6 of {{QUIC-RECOVERY}}). This is especially useful if any available application data cannot be safely retried. Note that the application determines what data is safe to retry. ``` -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
