I'm seriously recommending that, when the server cannot verify
authenticity of packet, force attenuation by protocol design. See
MinimaLT white paper, https://cr.yp.to/tcpip/minimalt-20131031.pdf

Given this, MinimaLT is designed to minimize amplification attacks, in
which a request is smaller than its reply (to a spoofed source
address).
