I got this email at 5:25AM today, which is 6:25PM April 1 in Belgium where Eric lives. I guess the joke is on him? It is only 9:25AM PDT though so the RFC editor is in the clear. Anyway, enjoy: Begin forwarded message:

RFC 5514
Title: IPv6 over Social Networks Author: E. Vyncke Status: Experimental Date: 1 April 2009 Mailbox: evyncke(a)cisco.com Pages: 6 Characters: 10127 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None
I-D Tag: draft-vyncke-ip-over-social-network-01.txt

There is a lack of IPv6 utilization in early 2009; this is partly linked to the fact that the number of IPv6 nodes is rather low. This document proposes to vastly increase the number of IPv6 hosts by transforming all Social Networking platforms into IPv6 networks. This will immediately add millions of IPv6 hosts to the existing IPv6 Internet. This document includes sections on addressing and transport of IPv6 over a Social Network. A working prototype has been developed. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
