* 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 ACKed packets, and received ACK's smallest acknowledged or
gap indicated packet number is larger than previously largest acknowledged
packet known by the sender, i.e. there exist a lack of information, then the
above comparisions MUST NOT be performed. Instead a new comparision point
is stored by the sender so that only changes after this point will be used
in the future comaparisions.

ACKed -> acknowledged
received -> the received

larger than the previous largest acknowledged, then it's likely
acknowledgements were missed, and the above comparison MUST NOT be
performed. Instead a new comparision point is stored by the sender so that
only changes after this point will be used in the future comaparisions.

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