I'm sorry, what?
I didn't know 4 was the official random number.
It's not. RFC 1149 is an April fools day joke about the protocol "IP Over Avian Carriers" and RFC 1149.5 doesn't exist. He's making a joke here.
Ahh I missed that reference. I remember reading the xkcd about the carrier pigeons a while back
Ah gotcha. Glad I could clarify. For reference, its easy to look up RFCs by just visiting the IEEE website: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1149
