 Packet loss, in particular loss of a Handshake packet from the server, can cause
 a situation in which the server cannot send when the client has no data to send
 and the anti-amplification limit is reached. In order to avoid this causing a

 A server might wish to validate the client address before starting the
 cryptographic handshake. QUIC uses a token in the Initial packet to provide
