<blockquote cite="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149">
<p>Avian carriers can provide high delay, low
throughput, and low altitude service. The
connection topology is limited to a single
point-to-point path for each carrier, used with
standard carriers, but many carriers can be used
without significant interference with each other,
outside of early spring. This is because of the 3D
ether space available to the carriers, in contrast
to the 1D ether used by IEEE802.3. The carriers
have an intrinsic collision avoidance system, which
increases availability.</p>
