Change:
Replace "maxidletimeout" with "a path's idleperiod" in the IdleTimeout Section and make sure that the idle_period is larger than 3 times the path's PTO.
This was discussed in issue and PR .
Regarding the maxidletimeout, RFC9000 says "To avoid excessively small idle timeout periods, endpoints MUST increase the idle timeout period to be at least three times the current Probe Timeout (PTO)." As in multi-path QUIC, the PTO is per-path, when maxidletimeout is used to close a connection, it makes sense to set maxidletimeout = 3max(PTO1, PTO2). But when it comes to close a path, I am not sure if the timeout for path1 should also depend on the PTO of path 2?
I think there are two idle timeouts: the "connection idle timeout" and the "path idle timeout". For the "connection idle timeout", I agree that it should be at least 3PTO_max. Triggering this timeout closes the connection. For the "path idle timeout", this might be a way to have a stronger guarantee to stop using paths (closing them) after some inactivity than the text proposed in . Still, if we define such a mechanism, we need to know whether all paths should have the same path timeout value or not (in the latter case, a transport parameter might not be the best way).
I would avoid having a different timer for a path than for a connection. That would make the protocol more complex without a lot of benefits. If a host wants to use a shorter timeout per path than the connection timeout, it can simply define it and use a PATH_ABANDON frame to indicate that the path is abandoned. However, we need to be clearer in 3.2.3 to indicate that a path can be considered valid if either packets are received on that path or packets sent on that path are acknowledged (possibly on another path)
Presented at IETF-113 but no time for discussion.
I have submitted PR to resolve this issue according to the above discussions.
PR was merged but forgot to close issue...
Just modified "URL least maxidletimeout milliseconds (a)..." into "... at least the period of the idle timeout as specified in {{Section 10.1 of QUIC-TRANSPORT}} (a)..." It's better to just modify the corresponding 2 lines, but it's ok for me.

Discussion:
When more than one path is available, hosts shall monitor the arrival of non-probing packets and the acknowledgements for the packets sent over each path.  Hosts SHOULD stop sending traffic on a path if for <del> at least max_idle_timeout milliseconds (a) no non-probing packet was received or (b) no non-probing packet sent over this path was acknowledged, but MAY ignore that rule if it would disqualify all available paths.  To avoid idle timeout of a path, endpoints can send ack-eliciting packets such as packets containing PING frames (Section 19.2 of QUIC-TRANSPORT) on that path to keep it alive. Sending periodic PING frames also helps prevent middlebox timeout, as discussed in Section 10.1.2 of QUIC-TRANSPORT. </del> <ins> at least the period of the idle timeout as specified in Section 10.1. of QUIC-TRANSPORT (a) no non-probing packet was received or (b) no non-probing packet sent over this path was acknowledged, but MAY ignore that rule if it would disqualify all available paths.
