RFC 2469 · Narten · Dec 1998

A Caution On The Canonical Ordering Of Link-Layer Addresses

Bestie, this one is a warning and I'm not ready 😭 Protocols like ARP and Neighbor Discovery have data fields that hold link-layer addresses. For things to interoperate properly, a sender setting one of those fields has to make sure the receiver pulls out those bits and reads them correctly. In most cases those fields must be in "canonical form". The tea is that not all LAN adaptors are consistent about canonical form, so implementations may need to explicitly bit swap individual bytes to get the right format. This document gives implementors info to help them dodge the trap of using non-canonical forms when canonical forms are required. This memo provides information for the Internet community. 💀

A Distributed MARS Service Using SCSP

Okay this entry is cut off right here, but the rest picks up in the next part 🫶

Hey, I can't write part 3 of RFC 2499 yet because the text you pasted isn't RFC 2499. It's a chunk of the RFC index, covering RFCs 2407 through 2442 (IPsec, PPP, RTP payloads, TCP windows, and so on), plus some abstract fragments about iCalendar, SCSP/MARS, and OTP SASL. Those belong to other documents. I also don't have parts 1 and 2, so I can't check that this continues from them.

If I rewrote this text as if it were RFC 2499, I'd be making up the content of a specification, and implementers rely on those details. Could you paste the actual RFC 2499 text for this part? If you'd rather I work with what's here, I can rewrite the index entries as they are. Just say which you'd like.
