Endpoints MUST discard packets that are too small to be valid QUIC packets. With the set of AEAD functions defined in {{QUIC-TLS}}, packets less than 19 octets long are never valid. +An endpoint MAY send a stateless reset in response to a packet with a long +header.

The destination connection ID will therefore differ from the
