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: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;matdoes.dev&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;matdoes.dev&#x2F;</a><p>Complete with 88x31 buttons, sparkling star gifs, and a visit counter.

Reminds me of the chicken presentation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;isotropic.org&#x2F;papers&#x2F;chicken.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;isotropic.org&#x2F;papers&#x2F;chicken.pdf</a>

Disappointingly, this draft does not reference previous important and influential work in this field: &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;isotropic.org&#x2F;papers&#x2F;chicken.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;isotropic.org&#x2F;papers&#x2F;chicken.pdf</a>&gt;.<p>(Also available in video format: &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk</a>&gt;)
