This covers a few issues and attempts to clean up the normative text, further editorial rearranging is for a future PR, since we need to agree on some changes to the requirements first. This removes the requirement that the remote address match between PATH_CHALLENGE/PATH_RESPONSE. As @martinduke said in #2582: >With PATH_CHALLENGE going out on both paths, these duplicate packets create four outcomes depending on which packets arrive first: both paths appear to be valid, the right path only is valid, the wrong path only is valid, or neither path is valid. The current requirement that the source address of PATH_RESPONSE matches the destination of the PATH_CHALLENGE can cause validation of the correct path to fail. In #2580, there was some thought around performing path validation as a MUST "unless the endpoint has other means validate the validate the new path". This text is a little stronger, saying that you MUST validate unless you have already done so and remembered --some of the mitigations to attacks being described rely on a guarantee that validation occurs (and on both the old and the new paths). If folks wanted to have a completely separate mechanism for validating paths and considered their server/client to "know better", I'm not saying we should prohibit that, but such a mechanism would need to be analyzed in terms of the possible attacks. So far, I *think* this closes out the changes to actual requirements that are necessary, and can be followed with an editorial pass to group the requirements in a way that's less confusing to first time readers (and thanks to @martinduke and others who gave this a close read in Prague!). Closes #2582, #2580, #2579.
