IETF draft-meow-mrrp-00 (opens in new tab)

> i wrote an internet standard https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html (it's published on ietf.org so you know it's real and official and endorsed by the ietf)

Sounds like a reaction to the IPv8 draft, pointing out that anyone can publish anything there and it means nothing.

This seems ill-advised. The protocol as documented is trivially exploitable by reflection attacks. The cat next door said one meow, and now every cat in the neighborhood is wailing in response.

I guess this shows how low of a bar there is for getting something in as an ietf draft. Adds context for that ipv8 post from the other day for sure

The author has a fun website too: https://matdoes.dev/

Complete with 88x31 buttons, sparkling star gifs, and a visit counter.

Reminds me of the chicken presentation: https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf

Disappointingly, this draft does not reference previous important and influential work in this field: <https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf>.

Why?!

The author must be hungry.
