Hey, Howard.
I always admire your posts. :)
But as you admitted at the bottom of your own post, I'm afraid you've gone too
far here.
I think that's the difference between the requirements for administrators and t
hose for implementors in general.
When I read some RFC stuffs, I'm always having this kind of confusion.
Do we ever really need such in-depth knowledge that may be useful only to real
protocol implementors?
Yes, it will help us when we know every detail of ins and outs of protocols, I
know that.
But we're already behind the schedule to cover ever expanding variety of networ
king subjects.
Anyway, thanks for your insights.
Jaeheon
