Recent tests have conclusively proven that carrier pigeons are more efficient at transmitting data than over the Internet. Something like this: this is the best result, it is less than 500 kilograms. Also in this experiment, proven in 2009, God in China, 4 GB of the most famous players I are 100 km from the street, which is close to the distance from the ADSL protocol. The pigeon took two hours to deliver the memory card, and only 4% of the data was transferred over the network during the same time.
Representative of the blogging community Jeff Gerling announced the results of the analysis of this experiment. Accordingly, it is clear that the theory specializes in distances of 500 thousand or more with data transfer faster than modern gigabit networks based on optical fiber. Gerling took off from the fact that one bird is comfortably able to carry three drives with a capacity of 1 TB each.
The pigeon mail data transfer from St. Louis to New Scotia, which included copying the data to drives, flying and copying it back to a PC, took 6 hours and 53 minutes. Transferring the same amount of information over a gigabit network took 10 hours and 54 minutes. For use as a “pigeon” by a jet flying at 550 mph, information delivery can be faster at a transmission distance of 5,000 miles.
Understanding the difference between “bandwidth function” and “transfer rate,” Amazon, for example, still maintains its cloud service by transporting gigantic amounts of data in trucks. The big disadvantage of the “pigeon service” is that message delivery can only be organized between two points. With the help of Internet networks, information can be transmitted to any corner of the world.
