There's an RFC (really.  This sounds like a joke, and actually it is, but
it was given a real RFC number and is published with the rest of them) on
something called "avian packet protocol", where the TCP/IP
packets are printed out in hex and transported from site to site by carrier
pigeon.  This is described in mind-numbing technical detail.
