It's awesome how much you can pack on a horse. A 4tb Samsung 990 Pro weights 9g. Let's say a horse can carry 450kg. Thats 450.000g / 9g/4tb = 50.000 × 4 tb = 200 pt. Latency is shit though.

That level of latency is—dare I say it?—horseshit
Edit: + all the other horseshit you gotta deal with
Routing may also be problematic, and potential packet loss
Throughput is good, but the 4 day pings are a killer.
But I can play chess-by-pigeon with 10,000,000 people simultaneously!
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.)
That is a very high bandwidth, but extremely high latency network link
Pain in the ass to watch Netflix that way though.
That's basically how the old DVD service worked, albeit with trucks.
Is this the tier below ads?
