As I pointed out, this isn't ideal and will lead to ECN being disabled in some cases. I don't know how much we are going to want to worry about that though.

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.
