What's the TTL?

Reminds me of the carrier pigeon IP implementation en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over...

(Because we can’t have billions of bottles just floating around aimlessly all the time).

Best effort delivery.

ping -W 999999999999999... host

My seawall is configured to block all incoming ICMP packets

the latency must be brutal on that link

Instantly made me think of RFC 2549 IP over Avian Carriers. www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2549

🎶 a year has passed since I wrote my note…

World's slowest internet

Can’t wait to post this to r/TheyDidTheMath to get a time estimate

Russia’s ability to conduct DDoS attacks has improved since then

Now please show us a DDOS pings.🤣

I completely misread the text at first and thought this was a comic about Stevenson’s “The Bottle Imp”

Or set ttl to 1 so the bottle self destroys after reading.

PONG

Careful, it could be a port scan.

Stupid lag

"That is impossible and cannot work! ICMP is only defined for IPv4, you have to use ICMPv6."
