IP over Avian Carriers

from: wikipedia

In computer networking, IP over Avian Carriers (IPoAC) is a humorously-intended proposal to carry Internet Protocol (IP) traffic by birds such as homing pigeons. IP over Avian Carriers was initially described in RFC 1149, a "Request for Comments" (RFC) issued by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) written by D. Waitzman and released on 1 April 1990 (April Fools' Day). It is one of several April Fools' Day RFCs.
Waitzman described an improvement of his protocol in RFC 2549, IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service (1 April 1999).
IPoAC has been successfully implemented, but for only nine packets of data, with a packet loss ratio of 55% (due to user error^[1]), and a response time ranging from 3000 seconds(~54 minutes) to over 6000 seconds(~1.77 hours). Thus, this technology suffers from poor latency. Nevertheless, for large transfers avian carriers are capable of high average throughput when carrying flash memory devices.

It occurs to me that with a few 32GB micro sd sticks which are 15 mm × 11 mm × 1 mm (about the size of a fingernail and weighs 2 grams) used as the medium for data storage, one could feasibly exceed broadband transfer rates.
