IP Over Avian Carriers: When Packet Loss Is Literal
The infamous "IP over Avian Carriers" was actually a real RFC (1149) published in 1990 as an April Fools' joke. It proposed using pigeons to carry data packets - and someone actually implemented it with a whopping 55% packet loss rate. The meme brilliantly illustrates "packet loss" with a dead bird. Because when your carrier pigeon dies mid-flight, that 4GB USB stick tied to its leg isn't exactly reaching the destination server. Still faster than some rural internet connections though...

IP Over Avian Carriers: Packet Loss
Ah, the infamous RFC 1149 (IP over Avian Carriers) - the networking protocol we never needed but definitely deserved. Some network engineer looked at carrier pigeons and thought "yeah, that's reliable infrastructure." The punchline here is brutal - a dead bird labeled as "packet loss." When your ping times are measured in hours and your data packets can be taken out by neighborhood cats, maybe fiber optic isn't so bad after all. Still better uptime than some cloud providers I've worked with though.
