I knew at one point some engineers who added RFC2549 to see if the salespeople were just being yesmen. A few years later I had similar problems with HSM salesman lying about Java support in their products so I can sympathize. Buying a product you cannot use without extreme effort is the pits.

One of them put in a bid to Cisco and got a reply back saying something like they were working on it but having some issues with the birds.

Somehow I knew what RFC2549 was without knowing what it was.
I used to be able to recite it from memory, but it’s starting to get mixed in my head with others, like 1918 which is the NAT RFC, and thus serious.
