 ## Initial Datagram Size {#initial-size}
 
 A client MUST expand the payload of all UDP datagrams carrying Initial packets

 PADDING frames to the Initial packet or by coalescing the Initial packet; see
 {{packet-coalesce}}.  Similarly, a server MUST expand the payload of all UDP
 datagrams carrying ack-eliciting Initial packets to at least the smallest

 ensures that the network path supports a reasonable Path Maximum Transmission
 Unit (PMTU), in both directions.  Additionally, a client that expands Initial
 packets helps reduce the amplitude of amplification attacks caused by server
