How do you "limit the protocol to a regular or context-free grammar" in a consumer internet router?
- noblethrasher 12y agoSince IP4 and TCP each have a “length field”, they're stuck being context-sensitive I suppose. But, on the other hand, since the length fields are bounded, you could treat each value as a separate token (though it would create a huge state machine). But, routers are not the only edge devices that worry me. Smart tvs|phones|toasters|… are also edge devices with respect to the topology of your “personal area network”.
