Many of you, who follow the Internet Engineering Task Force‘s Request For Comment listings, would be aware that, almost every year, they put out a joke RFC as a bit of April Fools humour.
Examples of this include…
- RFC1149 IP over Carrier Pidgeon, which actually got implemented by a Linux User Group in Norway.
- RFC2324 Hyper-Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol
Discussion has erupted on the Atomic MPC forums about RFC2549: IP over Avian Carriers with QoS and other quirky methods for transmitting IP datagrams, such as EmuNet (a high-speed bulk land protocol), KangNet and CTP (Casowary Transport Protocol, for sensitive data). Ohh… And WomTun, for tunneling past those irritating barbed-wire and electrified firewalls. 😉
