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.
Dogs have the same failure mode, except also influenced by non-domesticated canines such as coyotes and wolves, so a worse attack vector.
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?!
It feels like a reply to the IPv8 draft[0] that got viral yesterday.

Oh wow, yeah, this is clearly a parody of that IPv8 draft. Just look at the ASCII tables! I suppose it's a commentary on how low the bar is for submitting drafts to the IETF.
That IPv8 one at least made sense. This one here doesn't, and it is not even funny
The ipv8 one required all traffic on a network comprising 4 billion ips to go through one server. It was far from sensical.
I didn't say it was practical. But it definitely made more sense than this "meow" crap.
Don't worry, it actually called for 2 Zone Servers in an active-active pair!
Can't let pilots have all the fun
because!
The author must be hungry.
