In computer networking, IP over Avian Carriers
(IPOAC) is a 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 April 1, 1990. It is
one of several April Fools' Day Request for
Comments.
Waitzman described an improvement of his
protocol in RFC 2549 , IP over Avian Carriers with
Quality of Service (1 April 1999). Later, in RFC
6214-released on 1 April 2011, and 13 years
after the introduction of IPV6-Brian Carpenter and
Robert Hinden published Adaptation of RFC 1149
for IPv6.1]
IPOAC has been successfully implemented, but for
only nine packets of data, with a packet loss ratio
of 55% (due to operator error),4 and a response
time ranging from 3,000 seconds (54 minutes) to
over 6,000 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, effectively implementing a
sneakernet. During the last 20 years, the

points about this-it was shot off by a cannon-he continued being a knight for over 40 years after getting the iron hand-it was delicate enough he could still write with a quill using it, which is important as he was described as a ‘warrior poet’-after a merchant-punching life suitable for an elder scrolls protagonist he was outlawed by the holy roman empire, friends of his used a high diplomacy roll and a bribe to get him out, and he then almost immediately kidnapped a bishop -after outlaw of the holy roman empire 2 electric boogaloo was placed under house arrest in a castle he had purchased with all his quest rewards to spend the next 20 years drunk off his ass
