11 years ago, april 1st 1990, an important RFC was written, RFC 1149: IP over
avian carriers. To this day, as far as we know, no person has implemented this
RFC, yet it has been mentioned in numerous classes and networking courses. That
time has come to an end, and RFC 1149 will finally get its first
implementation, brought to you by Bergen Linux User Group and Vesta
Pigeon Racing Club.
The CPIP WG was founded march 6th 2001, as a joint project between the two
mentioned groups. Since then, members of both clubs have been busy
with planning, experimentation and implementation. We're now so far into the
project that we feel confident that the technology is ready, and the
implementation will be finished in time.
The tentative date for the demonstration of the first implementation and the
transportation of the first packets over live pigeons is set to april 28th.
The place will be somewhere in Bergen, but due to risk of interference in the
transmission, the actual sites will not be announced, at least not yet.
The WGs project web page is http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/ - and on this
page, we'll put up minutes, plans, implementation details and in due time, a
report from the project.
