@DavidSchinazi **Short answer**: saving bytes on the wire.

**Long answer**:

A server may need to support both regular clients (so using a server CID) as well as peer servers in the datacenter (or some SDN). It may be trivial to identify such peers (anyone using 10.0.0.0/8), so why waste CID in each packet when talking to 10.0.0.0/8 machines?  Moreover, QUIC now supports huge Server CIDs (up to 20 bytes), and if that's what's needed for regular clients, that's wasting 20 bytes per packet on internal communications.
