NAT doesn't require reset, but there are times when it's wise, particularly when the NAT is closer to the server than the client. (e.g. a NAT might signal a mobility event on the clientside by changing its port) On Wed, Oct 28, 2020 at 1:04 PM Ian Swett <ianswett= 40google.com@dmarc.ietf.org> wrote: > I'll note that this problem is created/worsened by the fact that the > congestion controller is reset.
