Quic amplification budget applies before address validation · case 01

Quic amplification budget applies before address validation.

ROOT CAUSE

The faulty implementation uses `max(0,3*received-sent)` for the quic-amplification-budget-applies-before-address-validation decision.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the explicit quic-amplification-budget-applies-before-address-validation contract, including the tested boundary and negative cases.

Unsuccessful approach: The attempted repair uses `None if validated else 3*received` and still violates a separate fixture.

Case contract

Bounded offline decision model: quic amplification budget applies before address validation. Inputs are already validated protocol fields; the explicit fixtures define the supported policy, not a complete protocol implementation.

Why this case matters

This deterministic multiplexed protocols model isolates the quic-amplification-budget-applies-before-address-validation policy at a network component boundary.

Verification & scope

Bounded deterministic policy model over validated inputs; not a complete protocol stack or an interoperability claim. The five variants rotate the same explicit fixture set. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
