Can you point me back to those blogs?
Yes, you convinced me that the relevant 2004 paper (which I can't remember), was wrong. But everyone, including me, thought it was impossible to do, until eric burned a weekend or two (I think he was on a plane flight?) doing it. And then it changed the world. It's still changing it. I'm seeing people doing IW256 w/pacing...
I can't remember when other concepts for packet pacing arrived, like TIMELY and so on, but IMHO packet pacing was the single most important innovation we've had for servers in the last 5+ years, one that keeps giving and giving... the BBR attempt at netflix failed, in part, (I think) because BSD didn't have the infrastructure for highres time....
