Let's upgrade this to an IETF standard. Who writes the 2 different implementations of the protocol? Come to think of it, sending the ID string to TCP port 7 on compliant devices will return the ID string back, demonstrating successful exchange of ID strings. So there already are multiple different implementations.

>Who writes the 2 different implementations of the protocol? You mean the "routing protocol" or the "routing protocol" pronounced with a funny accent? >In order to clearly differentiate these terms we assign the ordinal 98 to be "routing protocols" and 0x62 to be "routing protocols" (but pronounced with a funny accent). Protocols incapable of encoding 0x62 should use the string "My hovercraft is full of eels", a suitable translation of this phrase, or the ordinal 1.
