 When a PTO timer expires, a sender MUST send at least one ack-eliciting packet
 as a probe, unless there is no data available to send.  An endpoint MAY send up
 to two full-sized datagrams containing ack-eliciting packets, to avoid an
-expensive consecutive PTO expiration due to a single lost datagram.
+expensive consecutive PTO expiration due to a single lost datagram.  When only

Why are we recommending to skip packet numbers over just including a PING? The former causes more overhead in the reverse direction.
