 # Congestion Control
 
-(describe NewReno-style congestion control {{?RFC6582}} for QUIC.)
-(describe appropriate byte counting.)
-(define recovery based on packet numbers.)
+QUIC's congestion control is based on TCP New Reno{{?RFC6582}}
+congestion control to determine the congestion window and pacing rate.
+
+## Slow Start
+
+QUIC uses a slow start approach where the congestion window is increased
+by the same number of bytes as are acknowledged while in slow start.
+QUIC begins every connection in slow start and exits slow start upon
+loss or when the min_rtt increases by more than 1/8th for a full round.

Oh, NewReno doesn't have hystart?  How 80s.
