Section: 17.2.1

Original Text
-------------
                                                       Where QUIC
   might be multiplexed with other protocols (see [RFC7983]), servers
   SHOULD set the most significant bit of this field (0x40) to 1 so that
   Version Negotiation packets appear to have the Fixed Bit field.

Corrected Text
--------------
                                                       Unless the
   server has out-of-band knowledge that clients are not
   demultiplexing QUIC with other protocols (see [RFC7983]), it
   SHOULD set the most significant bit of this field (0x40) to 1 so that
   Version Negotiation packets appear to have the Fixed Bit field.

Notes
-----
Unless operating in a tightly controlled environment, the server has no way of 
knowing what other protocols the client might be demultiplexing on the same UDP 
socket. According to the demultiplexing logic defined in RFC 9443, Version 
Negotiation packets with 0x40 set to 0 would be misclassified as RTP/RTCP.

Looking at the discussion in 
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/quic/oR4kxGKY6mjtPC1CZegY1ED4beg/ and 
IETF118  QUIC working group meeting minutes. This needs more discussion to 
reach a conclusion on the potential solution.
