Hi all,

Ian and I have proposed an extension to enable sender-side control of
acknowledgement frequency: draft-iyengar-quic-delayed-ack-00
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-iyengar-quic-delayed-ack/>.

The problem this extension solves was originally discussed in #1978
<https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issues/1978>, where we agreed that
this might be best done in an extension. The desire to reduce the frequency
of acknowledgements was more recently brought up and discussed in #3304
<https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issues/3304>, where it seemed clear
that there was interest in working on this now. This proposed extension is
a result.

This is an individual draft. Please feel free to use the following github
repo, which is NOT the working group's repo, for filing issues and
discussion pertaining to the draft:
