If the TCP Server has not received an ACK to acknowledge its SYN/ACK after the normal TCP timeout or it receives a second SYN with a request for AccECN support, then either the SYN/ACK might just have been lost, e.g. due to congestion, or a middlebox might be blocking AccECN Options. To expedite connection setup in deployment scenarios where AccECN path traversal might be problematic, the TCP Server SHOULD retransmit the SYN/ACK, but with no AccECN Option.
If this retransmission times out, to expedite connection setup, the TCP Server SHOULD retransmit the SYN/ACK with (AE,CWR,ECE) = (0,0,0) and no AccECN Option, but it remains in AccECN feedback mode.
This follows Section 3.2.3.2.2 of AccECN spec (RFC9768).
