Sounds to me like you're not confused at all. I like 2100, myself. 1149 is a classic, as well, and has the interesting advantage that it's actually been implemented in the field. See http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/ for details.

Every year, on April 1st ("April Fool's day"), the IETF approves a small number of joke RFCs. 3098, BTW, is not a joke. -- David

Neither is 3092, for that matter. It may not be about a serious technical issue, but it's still the answer to a very common set of questions relating to Internet standards in general. Plus, it's a very impressive bit of research. -- J.D. Falk an ocean refuses no river <jdfalk@cybernothing.org>
