@MikeBishop yes indeed, the server always sends at least 1 CID, so a limit of 0 appears to break. But this is easily worked around by only applying the test to NCID frames. This is easier than special-casing the handling of CID[0] and CID[1]/SPA. In particular, the logic for handling RETIRE_CID and creation of new NCID becomes much simpler.

As I mentioned before, a default of 0 does not work very well, because the default for migration disabled is also 0 -- yet enabling migration without any NCID would be a protocol violation. The default should be at least 2 (initial and SPA), and I would prefer 3.
