OT: Protocol Jokes

Sometime to lighten up your day while preparing for midterm. Feel free to share your own jokes :)

  • An IPv4 address space walks into a bar, “A strong CIDR please. I’m exhausted.”
  • A TCP packet walks into a bar “I want a beer.” Bartender responds “You want a beer?” Packet responds “I want a beer.”
  • DNS servers must feel sad, nobody calls them by their name.
  • I’d tell you the one about the CIDR block, but you’re too classy.
  • A UDP packet walks into a bar without a checksum. Nobody cares.
  • Chuck Norris doesn’t do TCP handshake – he does TCP roundhouse-kick to initiate the connection
  • Doctor: What seems to be the problem? Router: It hurts when IP.
  • I tried to come up with an IPv4 joke, but the good ones were all already exhausted.
  • The best thing about UDP jokes is that I don’t care if you get them or not.
  • People who tell routing jokes always exceed their time-to-live.
  • The problem with TCP/IP jokes is that when I tell them, all I want is an ACK but usually get FINs and RSTs
  • I had a funny UDP joke to tell, but I lost it somewhere…
  • The worst part about HTTP jokes is that you can never remember in which state you heard the last one.
  • HTTP jokes are rarely better than OK
  • I really don’t GET HTTP 404 jokes.

  • “A UDP and a TCP sailor are getting ready to go into town on their evening leave from the ship. I have to go through a lot of handshaking to get to my favorite places in town. Most of the time, though, they just bounce me at the door. UDP: Hey! What are you complaining about? I get lost before I even get anywhere interesting.”

  • A DHCP packet walks into a bar and asks for a beer. Bartender says: “here, but I’ll need that back in an hour!
  • You know it’s love when you memorize her IP number to skip DNS overhead.
  • IP packet with TTL=1 arrives at bar. Bartender: “Sorry, can’t let you leave… and you don’t get any beer either…”
  • “Hello, here’s a packet : “The problem with low MTU jokes is you can”. Hello, here’s a packet : “wait a long time before reading”. Hello, here’s a packet : “it.”
  • 192.168.0.1 jokes are best told in private.
  • We were supposed to be dressed in disguise. So I dressed as NAT.
