Section 1 says:
This document defines another way to deal with Green IT for traffic and network engineers and will hopefully aid the wellbeing of a myriad of network packets around the world. It proposes Scenic Routing, which incorporates the green-ness of a network path into the routing decision. A routing engine implementing Scenic Routing should therefore choose paths based on Avian IP Carriers [RFC1149] and/or wireless technologies so the packets will get out of the miles/kilometers of dark fibers that are in the ground and get as much fresh-air time and sunlight as possible.
It should say:
This document defines another way to deal with Green IT for traffic and network engineers and will hopefully aid the wellbeing of a myriad of network packets around the world. It proposes Scenic Routing, which incorporates the green-ness of a network path into the routing decision. A routing engine implementing Scenic Routing should therefore choose paths based on IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service [RFC2549] and/or wireless technologies so the packets will get out of the miles/kilometers of dark fibers that are in the ground and get as much fresh-air time and sunlight as possible.
Notes:
Although RFC2549 ("IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service") does not obsolete RFC1149, the recommendations in the former improve Scenic Routing quality considerably, contributing to a subsequently more positive result in the TCP Mood option defined in [RFC5841].
