> -#### Time Threshold
-
-Time threshold loss detection uses a time threshold to determine how much
-reordering to tolerate.  In this document, the threshold is expressed as a
-fraction of an RTT, but implementations MAY experiment with absolute
-thresholds. The RECOMMENDED time threshold, expressed as a fraction
-of the round-trip time (kTimeThreshold), is 1/8.
-
-An endpoint SHOULD declare packets lost no earlier than
-(1 + kTimeThreshold) * max(SRTT, latest_RTT) after when they were
-sent.  If packets sent prior to the largest acknowledged packet cannot yet
-be declared lost, then a timer SHOULD be set for the remaining time.
+{{?RFC6675}}, and RACK {{?RACK=I-D.ietf-tcpm-rack}}. This section provides an
+overview of how these algorithms are implemented in QUIC.

+When an ACK frame is received that newly acknowledges a packet, a QUIC sender

This is a good point. In fact, I think we may want to drop the text that says this is triggered on an receipt of an ACK only, because that's not necessary. Sure, that's when we check it (and when the ER timer fires), but that's not required.  I've changed the text above to reflect this.
