@ai6yr From Wikipedia: IPoAC has been successfully implemented, but for only nine packets of data, with a packet loss ratio of 55% (due to operator error), and a response time ranging from 3,000 seconds (50 min) to over 6,000 seconds (100 min). On 28 April 2001, IPoAC was implemented by the Bergen Linux user group, under the name CPIP (for Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol). They sent nine packets over a distance of approximately 5 km (3 mi), each carried by an individual pigeon and containing one ping (ICMP echo request), and received four responses.

@joy If ChatGPT was able to author, test, package, version-control, write user- and developer-documentation for, and manage the new software for the functionality they wanted, that would be great. We're a looooooong way away from that point, though!
