[WAITZMAN, David and the BERGEN LINUX USER GROUP.] One printed IP/ICMP “ping” packet sent by carrier pigeon per RFC 1149. Small scroll of paper, 41 x 210 mm. Rolling creases visible from when attached to pigeon’s leg. Framed. Inscribed and signed on the verso of backing board: “Property of David Waitzman”. A surviving packet from the first and most famous implementation of the Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol.
[大卫·怀茨曼 (David Waitzman) 与卑尔根 Linux 用户组 (BLUG)] 一份根据 RFC 1149 标准通过信鸽发送的打印版 IP/ICMP “ping” 数据包。纸卷小巧，尺寸为 41 x 210 毫米。纸张上可见因绑在鸽腿上而留下的卷曲折痕。已装裱。背板背面有题词及签名：“大卫·怀茨曼的财产”。这是“信鸽互联网协议”首次也是最著名的一次实践中幸存下来的数据包。
In 1990, the American network engineer David Waitzman authored RFC 1149, A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers, on April Fools’ Day. It describes, in deadpan technical language, the transmission of Internet packets by carrier pigeon. Although written as a joke, RFC 1149 became one of the best-known pieces of Internet folklore and remains widely cited more than three decades later.
1990 年的愚人节，美国网络工程师大卫·怀茨曼撰写了 RFC 1149，即《通过信鸽传输 IP 数据报的标准》。文中以一本正经的技术语言描述了通过信鸽传输互联网数据包的过程。尽管最初是作为玩笑撰写的，但 RFC 1149 后来成为了互联网界最著名的传说之一，并在三十多年后的今天仍被广泛引用。
On 28 April 2001, members of the Bergen Linux User Group in Norway (BLUG) carried out a full-scale implementation of the protocol. Using printers, scanners, and racing pigeons, they printed individual IP packets as hexadecimal strings, attached them to birds’ legs, and transmitted them between two lofts separated by approximately three miles. Nine packets were dispatched and four successful replies were returned.
2001 年 4 月 28 日，挪威卑尔根 Linux 用户组 (BLUG) 的成员对该协议进行了全面实施。他们利用打印机、扫描仪和赛鸽，将单个 IP 数据包打印为十六进制字符串，绑在鸽腿上，并在相距约三英里的两个鸽舍之间进行传输。最终发出了九个数据包，并收到了四个成功的回应。
The present scroll is one of those transmitted packets: a physical Internet datagram that actually traveled by carrier pigeon during the experiment. It was presented to Waitzman, the original author of RFC 1149, the following year. Appropriately, BLUG sent the packet in a physical frame just as IP packets are sent within coded frames.
眼前的这份纸卷正是当时传输的数据包之一：一个在实验过程中真正通过信鸽运送的物理互联网数据报。次年，它被赠送给了 RFC 1149 的原作者怀茨曼。巧合的是，BLUG 将该数据包装在物理框架中寄出，正如 IP 数据包是在编码框架内发送的一样。
The RFC 1149 implementation has been described as a quintessential example of the Internet’s tradition of the “artful hack,” embodying the playfulness, technical ingenuity, and collaborative spirit that characterized the early Internet community.
RFC 1149 的实施被誉为互联网“巧妙黑客”传统的典范，体现了早期互联网社区所特有的趣味性、技术独创性和协作精神。
