IP Datagrams Via Avian Carrier :-)
Don't forget the QoS extension
I was unaware of the proposed QoS extension :-)
Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled.That manages to achieve both high latency and low throughput. The few times I've seen people use pigeons to move data (instead of a truck or airplane) it's involved attaching a micro-sd card to their leg. This works remarkably well.
I'm legitimately in awe of carrier pidgins. The guy my folks bought their house from use to rase some, two years after we moved in one found its way back. That same bird showed up for 2 more years, nesting for a month, then (presumably) flew back to his new home.
Don't forget to quantify the latency (pingeon.)
