Brian Stucker's draft-sipping-stucker-media-path-middleboxes-00 does mention a
situation where queuing can occur with 'latching' (commonly done by SBCs when
they do 'hosted NAT traversal'):

   ...
   13.  Media from the UAS is relayed to the UAC.  It is up to local
        policy at the media relay as to whether or not packets that had
        arrived from the UAS for the UAC are queued or dropped prior to
                                             ^^^^^^
        the UAC's address/port information being updated in step 11.
