Yeah, and it adds a whole new dimension to packet loss too :-)

Speaking of RFC 1149 ...  http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/

	11 years ago, April 1st 1990, rfc 1149 was written. This rfc
	specifies a protocol for IP over avian carriers, CPIP (carrier
	pigeon internet protocol). In 11 years, noone has bothered to
	implement this important protocol stack. But happily, we don't
	need to wait any longer! BLUG in cooperation with Vesta
	Brevdueforening has given you rfc 1149 support for Linux.

and:

	vegard at gyversalen:~$ ping -i 900 10.0.3.1
