Queues II: Electric Boogaloo

Lead: Hey, so I came up with a scheme to add packets to the queue every frame but the queue is getting full!

Me: So... what's the issue here exactly?

Lead: Why is the queue getting full if I'm adding only one packet a frame? It sends a packet every frame!

Me: Packet loss?

Lead: [Doesn't get it]

Me: So if there's packet loss, it won't get an ack and it'll try to resend the packet. If there is a lot of packet loss, the queue will be full.

Lead: So I should put a cooldown on adding packets to the queue?

Me: No, that would only defer the problem.

Lead: Why?

Me: ... Why don't you just add the additional packets after the messages are acknowledged and you know the queue is no longer full?

Lead: Won't a cooldown be better?
