I do not think adding complexity to solve this is worth it. STUN retransmissions are paced out using RTO value discussed in RFC5389 and doubled after each retransmission. It looks like a corner case where the retransmitted packet reaches the server before the previous packet. -Tiru > If ICE is using this, it is still valuable information.
