Currently, the minimum pacing delay is 1ms. If the bandwidth allows sending more frequently, we instead release a batch of packets into the network every 1ms.
Additionally, we now also limit the number of pacing events to 64 per RTT, i.e. apply a minimum pacing delay of 1/64 RTT. This allows us to arm the pacing timer less frequently, while still achieving most of the benefits of packet pacing.
