but you can't move packets on pieces of paper. Or can you? RFC's 6214 2549 1149
Sure, but rfc1149 needs some work before it could be a viable way of moving packets. For example: the rfc calls for printing a diagram on paper, which is error-prone, and the ink is expensive. Instead they should be using a hole punch to encode the message on the paper tape, bit by bit, with check bits for error correction. Transport of the tapes by truck or car would be more suitable for bandwidth requirements of bulk transfer. Also, the paper can be recycled more easily by reinserting punched and gluing back punched holes from previous message exchanges, than attempting to rewet and bottle ink.
