Lag is a real bitch though...
Yea, and packet size is enormous, so one lost packet is catastrophic...
This is why you use TCP: Trusted Concurrent Pigeons.
Trusted Pigeons so that a simple hash check can prove the veracity of your data AND provide a free dedupe / data integrity check for when multiple/single packets arrive.
Concurrent Pigeons so that transmission issues don't impact latency (throughput is essentially unlimited here, assuming sufficient pigeons)
Downsides include needing to implement a pigeon cache and power (birdfood) requirement increases.
You forgot about the interference (bird shit) it'll cause with other things throughout the ~~data~~ highway
Telnet sucks bad with Pigeonet
