Yep. I was going to make the same comment to Ian (a NAT can't treat DCCP like UDP *and* TCP, because the timeouts are usually very different).

At any rate, DCCP would be more like TCP in this regard than UDP, I'd
expect.

That'd be my expectation as well. As a datapoint, do we know what timer the Linux NAT code uses for DCCP? (And if we know of other NATs that translate DCCP, do we know their timers?)
