April Fool’s Day RFCs
Some time back on Slashdot there was a story running on a technology, developed in China, to remotely control pigeons to make them move up,down, left and right. Obviously there are some very serious ethical issues involved in this. However in the same slashdot post I came across two RFCs which I was not aware of:
RFC 1149: Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carrier
RFC 2549: IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service
Both have been published on the 1st April, and by the same guy!
Upon further investigation it turns out that there a whole bunch of April Fool's Day RFC, published every year (Although none was published last year). Wikipedia maintains the entire list. Some of them are a fun read!
