> We should also recommend that an endpoint that is only sending non-ack-eliciting packets should piggyback a PING frame along with an ACK roughly once an RTT so that its RTT estimate is reasonably current.

The sounds like a complication - and extra timer check and keeping track of whether ACK eliciting packets were sent. Also, it could lead to a lot of unnecessary PONG traffic. Is it really that important to update RTT that often, and if so, wouldn't it be better to revisit the idea of measuring RTT for non-ack eliciting packets dispite the potential downfalls?
