> +A Retry packet does not include a packet number and cannot be explictly
+acknowledged by a client.
+
+A server MUST only send a Retry in response to a client Initial packet.
+
+If the Original Destination Connection ID field does not match the Destination
+Connection ID from the most recent Initial packet it sent, clients MUST discard
+the packet.  This prevents an off-path attacker from injecting a Retry packet.
+
+The client responds to a Retry packet with an Initial packet that includes the
+provided Retry Token to continue connection establishment.
+
+A server that might send another Retry packet in response to a subsequent
+Initial packet MUST set the Source Connection ID to a new value of at least 8
+octets in length.  This allows clients to distinguish between Retry packets when
+the server sends multiple rounds of Retry packets.  Consequently, a valid Retry

The client should not change its SCID each time. See #1474 and the associated PR #1491.
