Hello, Martin,

Everything else Christian says here about QUIC is accurate.  I see
nothing there that suggests a problem in need of attention.  I would
also point to
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-quic-load-balancers for a more
nuanced treatment of the connection ID selection problem.

So, in previous exchanges, it was claimed that "there were no implications arising from CIDs".
But the very Abstract of the document you're referencing says:

   QUIC connection IDs allow continuation of connections across address/
   port 4-tuple changes, and can store routing information for stateless
   or low-state load balancers.  They also can prevent linkability of
   connections across deliberate address migration through the use of
   protected communications between client and server.

That reads like privacy implications in my book. And should be part of the core spec.

Thanks,
