This is my favorite reference which explains the problem (please check the
latest version from the IETF web).
C. Partridge, 'ACK Spacing for High Delay-Bandwidth Paths with Insufficient
Buffering', IETF, draft-partridge-e2e-ackspacing-00.txt, July 1997.
I also got some more explanation and simulation results:
N.K.G. Samaraweera, 'Return Link Optimisation for Internet Service Provision
Using DVB-S Networks', CCR, ACM SIGCOMM, volume 29, number 3, July 1999.

Subject: Burstiness WIth increased max cwnd.
With Window scaling in TCP, the back-to-back packets a TCP flow sends
can be very high. I was wondering if there is some study evaluating the
increase in burstiness of TCP traffic with larger cwnd. Or, in general,
are there some papers talking about how bursty the traffic is as seen by a
router?
Thanks,
Mukul
