The revolutionary ``protocol for communication exceeding the speed of light'' created by AI will be published as RFC 9564



On

April 1 , 2024, a protocol for faster-than-light communication was published as RFC 9564. For a long time, the speed of light has been a bottleneck as the upper limit of communication speed, and the mechanism of RFC 9564 that can break through the limit of the speed of light is groundbreaking in a sense.

RFC is an abbreviation for Request for Comments, and when it first appeared in 1969, it was a document used to request opinions on published content, but as of 2024, it will promote the standardization of the Internet. It is a format for storing and publishing technical specifications by IETF .

Although many of the RFCs are about technical specifications that are already standards or are in the process of standardization, some of them are jokey, and since 1989, humorous RFCs have been published every year on April 1st. has been published.

What was released on April 1, 2024 is `` Faster Than Light Speed Protocol (FLIP) '', which literally translates to ``faster than light speed protocol''. According to the document, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) such as large-scale language models have made it possible to design faster-than-light protocols. Specifically, AI can be used to predict future packets on the receiver side before they arrive, thereby avoiding congestion, increasing security, and speeding up packet delivery. It is stated that.



There are concerns that FLIP, which can predict future packets, could be misused by attackers. It seems that there is a possibility that a ``future play attack'' that predicts future packets will appear instead of a replay attack that uses intercepted data as it is for attacks.

In addition, FLIP's specifications were devised using AI, and it is said that ``stupid people should not have reviewed it, but multiple AI chat services have reviewed it instead of stupid people'', and AI is rapidly It became an April Fool's joke typical of 2024, which will become popular in 2024.

In addition to this FLIP, the April Fool's joke RFC includes a protocol for IP communication by homing pigeons, ' Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP/1.0) ' for operating coffee pots, and a protocol for malicious attacks. In communications, there are various rules such as setting security flags .

The joke RFCs that have been published on April Fool's Day so far are summarized in a list on Wikipedia's ``April Fools' Day Request for Comments'' page, so if you are interested, please check it out.
