As far as not using the same protocol number, that's neither here nor there.
Horse pucky. On the Internet, the secure and reliable players co-ordinate their protocol actions through the IANA, using the published IANA rules for how you get a protocol identifier. This case is a straightforward example of a bunch of people angry at things not going their way, and treading all over a well-defined, open process becuse they didn't like the actions of some of the participants. I don't like those actions either, but if proponents cannot bother to publish an Internet-Draft describing CARP, it's pretty hard to take CARP seriously as anything like a "protocol". It's just rude behaviour on someone else's well-defined port. A -- Andrew Sullivan Dyn Labs asullivan@dyn.com
