Two p2p server systems with compatible CID formats might accidently have a stateless reset routed back and forth between two are more servers that do not understand the packet context and consequently respond with a new reset. This can leave zombie resets spinning forever.

An advanced attacker might be able to take advantage of the above.

What is the motivation for making the reset undetectable in the first place?
