@kazuho I believe my psuedocode indicates that the current version of the PR doesn't add more state for various values of "maximum RCIDs inflight" as long as it's small enough that you can fit it all in one QUIC packet. If the RCIDs are spread over multiple packets inflight then keeping track of RCIDs requires a scoreboard.

The exact threshold to throw an error is indeed not needed in the spec. However @ianswett, rightfully, requested a MAY around the error to set expectations for debugging.

I do think we should change the word "outstanding" to "in flight" just to make it a bit clearer.
