However, on many links that is still a tall order, since if the flows really are that short, there are probably lots of them in parallel.

At a 100ms RTT, IW10 could be delivered at 100pps (1.5 Mbps), extending the range of link speeds on which congestion signalling will not occur by at least 3x (and generally more).  Since this greatly reduces the risk of packet loss, it might actually reduce the average time that the sender needs to maintain the connection’s buffers, despite the deliberate 1-RTT delay introduced.

Data point: Quic is presently 10 packet burst, 22 packets paced. Not
that I like it.
