There's also the '747 full of DVDs' example.
Of course, latency sucks, badly.

Actually, not quite, since it wasn't working with datagrams.
But RFC1149 has been implemented

Hmm. Dolphins may be better all-weather options. And they'd have higher capacity, I guess.

Yes, but they'd have to be clad in tinfoil to deflect the laser beams from the sharks.

I suspect we'd use trained ravens for data transmission here. After all, they are a tried and tested technology with a numinous user base.

Probably less prone to packet loss in that environment.
(

Hmm, mixed protocols: given both pigeon and raven based networks, do the ravens interfere with the pigeons?

I think that depends on how hungry the ravens are.
