RFC 3514: New Bit Defined for IPv4 Headers

Posted by jamie on from the SHOULD dept.

RFC 3514 was just released, with a new bit definition for use in the headers of IP packets. Because there are important security implications, anyone coding internet services (on either the client or server end) should probably take a look.

    That SQL Server worm I've been working on. What bit was that again?

    So damn uncreative - not the RFC, which was quite good, but the /. crew.

    I'd emailed Rob with the perfect April Fool's joke to play on the /. crowd - fake a new release of Geeks In Space, consisting of nothing but low-level ambient noise for 20 minutes followed by a loud "April Fool!" at the end.

    You all see the (absence of) result.
