IP over avian carriers

After it was revealed that a carrier pigeon is often faster than Internet transfer, we got an anonymous tip of this little known Internet protocol:

There exists an entire internet protocol for this purpose. It's called IPoAC (IP over Avian Carriers), and it's proposed by RFC 1149. It was also implemented by Norwegian Linux user group in 2001.

Just to be sure, you did note the date of that RFC, didn't you? There's usually one of the sort every year, though that's one of the better ones.

I didn't, but I did not really think it was very serious.
