> The issue begins on page 81 with the packet diagram.  It shows both a “DCID Len(8)” and “SCID Len(8)”.  However, the description of “DCID Len” says it provides the length for both Destination Connection ID as well as Source Connection ID.  In addition, the “DCID Len” description states the Dest/Src lengths may be at most 18 bytes, while the “SCID Len” description says it may be up to 20 bytes.
>  
> This document from June 2019 shows a different Long Header Packet format that contains a single byte for the DCID/SCID lengths.

> Can you clarify which Long Header Packet format is correct, and explain the possible descrepencies?
