Hi,

> I thought the point that NAPT was common point had been discussed in QUIC before, and was noted that there are devices on path that change the forwrading path and hence congestion conditions based on the flow's port value. ECMP is a not that uncommon example, other load ballancing can also change the path.

but with ECMP, SFQ and similar schemes, the intent it spread the load equally over a set of candidate paths. So, assuming some level of utilization, all those candidate paths should have more-or-less similar path characteristics?

I agree that in general, a path change should cause a CC state reset, but in this specific case, I think we can make some assumptions (like the above) that may make it OK to not do that.
