What we have in practice is this:
```
A                       Attacker (Z)                  B

                                         <- [B:A]: Data
                     <- [B:A]: Data
[A:B]: ACK ->
                        [Z:B]: ACK ->

                                       X <- [B:Z]: Data
                                         <- [B:A]: Probe
                                       X <- [B:Z]: Probe
```

Provided the attacker isn't on path (where they could deny service anyway), the result is that the migration will fail as soon as the probe response arrives.
