 To entities other than its intended recipient, a stateless reset will appear
-to be a packet with a short header.  For the packet to appear as valid, the
-Unpredictable Bits field needs to include at least 198 bits of data (or 25
-bytes, less the two fixed bits).  This is intended to allow for a Destination
-Connection ID of the maximum length permitted, with a minimal packet number, and
-payload.  The Stateless Reset Token corresponds to the minimum expansion of the

+Bits field needs to include at least 46 bits of data (or 6 bytes, less the
+two fixed bits), because packets that are smaller than 21 bytes are never
+valid.  To ensure the stateless reset packet is not smaller than other
+packets received on the connection, the an endpoint SHOULD also ensure the

+19 bytes allows for 1 type byte, 1 data byte, the 16 byte authentication
