Why 3704 is special

3 × 1,000 + 7 × 100 + 4 × 1 = 3,704. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.

One recommends filtering traffic with source addresses a network did not allocate; the other makes it work where a network has two providers.

RFC 3704 describes ingress filtering techniques including strict, feasible-path and loose reverse path forwarding, addressing multihomed networks where strict filtering discards legitimate traffic.

Common questions
Is 3704 a prime number?
No, 3704 is not prime.
What are the factors of 3704?
The factors of 3704 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 463, 926, 1852, 3704.
What is 3704 in Roman numerals?
3704 in Roman numerals is MMMDCCIV. IV is subtractive: one before five — five minus one. Written additively it would be MMMDCCIIII, which Roman inscriptions used freely — the strict subtractive form is a later convention.
