2 or 3? I think it's layer 8. It's the lost RFC 0.1a (back when a still
meant alpha). The Y2K bug affected many doohickeys at layer 8 but hardly
anyone noticed since Cisco doesn't teach us what layer 8 does (it's hidden
in a POD). Big Brother probably uses layer 8.
This thread is as active as the RFC involving pigeons for a transport
protocol that we had awhile back.
