See RFC1489 "A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carrier" - collision avoidance ... datagram padding ... prioritised pecking order ... self-regenerating carriers ... audit trails ... and RFC2549, "IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service" - inheritance tree ... rather overdoes it, but still.
