I have a question regarding minimal size of packets. If you read https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9001#section-5.4.2, it has text explaining that "packets are padded so that the combined lengths of the encoded packet number and protected payload is at least 4 bytes longer than the sample required for header protection". I am under the impression that the "protected payload" length includes the length of the AEAD checksum, and that when the checksum length is more than 4 bytes no padding is ever necessary. Am I wrong?
Short answer: yes, I was wrong, sorry about that. -- Christian Huitema
