I was looking for something else entirely (how to access the built-in webserver on my wifi-enable Keurig coffee maker, thanks for asking), and I ran across the classic RFC 1149. If you don’t have all the internet requests for comment memorized, RFC 1149 is titled “A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers.” In other words, it is how to transmit standard internet data packets via carrier pigeon.
If you haven’t read it, or haven’t read it recently, go back and read it.
Good times…
