Cool April RFCs - RFC 1149 - IP datagrams on avian carriers - Pigeon and OCR Implementation

A couple of cool April 1st RFC's:

RFC 1149:Standard for the transmission of IP datagrams on avian carriers
RFC 2549: IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service

Of course someone "wrote" an implementation...

Pictures from the worlds first RFC 1149 implementation. (IP datagrams printed, transmitted via pigeon messages, scanned, OCR-ed and re-assembled).
