Not doing TCP/IP itself, but even better a pigeon won a transmission race vs. an ISP using DSL once, moving 4 GB of data 40 miles. The bird won using a 4 GB SD card.

The highest bandwidth available now is a 747.

A packet (planeload) of paper records to India for data entry, and a couple boxes of tapes back. much faster and more secure than bouncing signals off satellites or squeezing them down a wire.

It's the old "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes driving down the highway" networking canard.

But, as usual, the latency SUCKS.
