IPv4 Headers Investigated 347

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday April 01, 2003 @02:09PM from the that-makes-a-lot-of-sense dept.

An anonymous reader writes "New security measures are being suggested (see RFC 3514) for the IPv4 header. The measures include a bit that can be set and unset according to whether the packet is secure or not. Due to the important security implications, anyone coding client/server internet applications might want to take a look."

There! I claim it in the name of the third dupe! So we've already had a dupe and a tripe, perhaps we call this...hmm, what's a good name for a fourth dupe?

Why am I always the last to know about these things. I try and keep up to date about technology matters, but I've missed out on this. I wish that I could have seen this one coming.

I read somewhere today that there's a new RFC out regarding IP header bits--you can set and unset a particular bit to determine the packet's overall security. I haven't seen it linked anywhere yet, and I'm considering sending it in to the editors, but I can't find their address.

This is something I think they'd be very interested in.

We need a new flag implemented into the Slashdot system that will indicate whether or not the story is a dupe. It can be preset to DUPE=1 to save everyone trouble.

Might as well take advantage of Taco's amnesia... I've now submitted the story again, and expect my version of it to be the 6th or 7th posting. Maybe I'll finally break the karma barrier this way!

This is beginning to remind me of that fat kid in school who only knew one joke, and kept repeating it ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME.

You know him. He was at your school, too.

Is that there's a bunch of duplicate stories, and people can't tell if it's April Fools, or just business as usual...

It'll be pretty much like this all day, today. And people were annoyed with the plethora of Apr. 1 gags last year. The Peter Jackson/King Kong is real, afaik, as it's been in the news the prior couple days. (How did that one slip through?)
In other news:

Warner Studios has anounced further sequels to it's popular film The Matrix. Sequels will be titled: The Matrix Transposed, The Matrix Inverted, The Matrix Rotated, The Matrix Scaled, The Matrix Translated, The Matrix Identity and finally The Matrix Determinant. After the full run of Matrix films an anonymous source has indicated the studio has expressed interest in a series based upon Sine, Cosine and Tangent, with options on Secant, Cosecant, Arcsine, etc. if interest persists.
