I am looking at the text of section 4.2, and I am not sure how I would implement that. What should be the value of the config rotation bits in CID created by the server? Should the 6 other bits in the first octet be set to a CID Len or to a random value? Is the timer set when the server ID is first added to the table, or is the timer reset each time a packet is received with that CID? In the latter case, is it reset when any packet is received, or only when a "first initial" packet is received?

If the DCID is not understood by the LB, the LB chooses a random target server but does not store any state. The expectation being that the server will assign its own DCID on the return path.

The LB will understand how to route the server assigned DCID. The problem being that this generally requires shared state - which Low-Config aims to avoid in exchange of local state.
