 The Packet Number field is set to a randomized value.  The server SHOULD send a
-packet with a short header and a type of 0x1F.  This produces the shortest
-possible packet number encoding, which minimizes the perceived gap between the
-last packet that the server sent and this packet.  A server MAY use a different

 After the Packet Number, the server pads the message with an arbitrary
 number of octets containing random values.
