You don't need constant time because you are not replying to the reset. Worst case is that you ignore / reject the reset and continue sending observable packets. The timing of those packets is largely (but not entirely) independent of the reset lookup timing. Further, if a reset is successfully guessed, you are dead, so the only thing to protect is how you test for and react to unmatched resets. If packets are paced you should be good.
