> @@ -753,6 +753,12 @@ delivery of ACK frames is important for efficient loss recovery. Packets
 containing only ACK frames should therefore not be paced, to avoid delaying
 their delivery to the peer.
 
+Sending multiple packets into the network without any delay between them
+creates a packet burst that might cause short-term congestion and losses.
+Implementations MUST either use pacing or limit such bursts to minimum
+of 10 * kMaxDatagramSize and max(2* kMaxDatagramSize, 14720)), the same
+as the recommended initial congestion window.
+

I think that explicitly saying "Initial congestion window" here as the primary target of the MUST requirement would be better.
