NEW_CONNECTION_ID is marked with a sequence number. Connection IDs MUST be used
in the order in which they are numbered.

An endpoint that to break linkability upon changing networks MUST use a
previously unused connection ID provided by its peer. Protection of packet
numbers ensures that packet numbers cannot be used to correlate connections.
Other properties of packets, such as timing and size, might be used to correlate
activity, but no explicit correlation can be used to link activity across paths.
Upon changing networks an endpoint MUST use a previously unused connection ID
provided by its peer. This eliminates the use of the connection ID for linking
activity from the same connection on different networks. Protection of packet
numbers ensures that packet numbers cannot be used to correlate activity.
This does not prevent other properties of packets, such as timing and size,
from being used to correlate activity.

Clients MAY change connection ID at any time based on implementation-specific
concerns. For example, after a period of network inactivity NAT rebinding might
