The author must be hungry.

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.

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.

What is this idiotic stupid shit?

Disappointingly, this draft does not reference previous important and influential work in this field: < https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf >. (Also available in video format: < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk >)

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

https://f.matdoes.dev/notice/B5MVd4KD0Oh5Rfwaoq : > 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.
