 ### Using a pacer
 
-With video publishing, keyframes can be an order of magnitude larger than delta frames. 
+With video publishing, keyframes can be an order of magnitude larger than delta frames.
 This size difference can cause a significant increase in bitrate when a keyframe is transmitted, leading to a surge in packet flow.
 Such spikes might result in packet loss at the forwarding layer. To maintain a consistent packet flow,
 you can enable the use of a [pacer](https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/webrtc/+/master/modules/pacing/g3doc/index.md).
