* The increase in ECT(0) and ECT(1) counters MUST be no greater than the number
of packets newly acknowledged that were sent with the corresponding codepoint.

* If the increase in the ECT(0), ECT(1) and CE counters are greater than
the number of newly acknowledged packets, and the received ACK's
smallest acknowledged is larger than the previous largest acknowledged,
then it's likely acknowledgements were missed, and the above comparison
MUST NOT be performed. Instead a new comparison point is stored by the
sender so that only changes after this point will be used in the future
comparisons.

Upon successful verification, an endpoint continues to set ECT codepoints in
subsequent packets with the expectation that the path is ECN-capable.
