attempts to use that original path, it is not possible to distinguish between
attack and an improvement in routing.

An endpoint could also use heuristics to improve detection of this style of
attack. For instance, NAT rebinding is improbable if packets were recently

can also look for duplicated packets. Conversely, a change in connection ID is
more likely to indicate an intentional migration rather than an attack.
