 # Introduction
 
-This document describes a QUIC extension for an endpoint to control its peer's
-delaying of acknowledgments.
+The QUIC transport protocol recommends to send an ACK frame
+after receiving at least two ack-eliciting packets; see
+{{Section 13.2 of QUIC-TRANSPORT}}. However, it leaves the determination
+of how frequently to send acknowledgments in response to ack-eliciting packets
+to the data receiver without any ability for the data sender to impact this
+behavior. This document specifies an extension to QUIC that permits an endpoint to
+request that its peer changes its behavior when sending or delaying acknowledgments.
+
+This document defines a new transport parameter to announce the support of this
+extension and specifies two new frame types to request changes to the peer's
+acknowledgement behavior.
