En underbar RFC (Request For Comments) är nummer 1149 angående ”Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers”, dvs ”Transmission av IP paktet via luftburna bärare”… dvs… brevduvor!
Den är jättekort, bara en och en halv sida, men har en del underbara formuleringar:
- ”Avian carriers can provide high delay, low throughput”
- ”many carriers can be used without significant interference with each other, outside of early spring”
- ”The bandwidth is limited to the leg length”
- ”An additional property is built-in worm detection and eradication”
- ”best effort delivery, loss of a carrier can be tolerated. With time, the carriers are selfregenerating”
- ”Audit trails are automatically generated, and can often be found on logs and cable trays”
