> +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.
+
+## Recovery
+
+Recovery is a period of time beginning with detection of a lost packet.
+It ends when all packets outstanding at the time recovery began have been
+acknowledged or lost. During recovery, the congestion window is not
+increased and the pacing gain is reduced to 1.

Done.
