[Informatics] Amazon Snowmobile - what exactly is the bandwidth of a truck?

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Thanks Mark and Adric

Reminds me of the "IP over Avian Carriers" proposal that was proposed for
consideration by the BBN Labs Network Working group.
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149  This has even more potential for
expansion than your snowmobile proposal because of the extra bandwidth
gained by vertically stacking pigeons in the 3D cloud space. With capacity
is limited by avian leg length, Australian Internet Pigeon Carriers could
consider consider running with a higher capacity line of Ether Memory Units
(EMU's).
