KV> FMTP - Flight Message Transfer Protocol

I read that and immediately thought ot RFC-1140, A Standard for the
Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers.

Status of this Memo

  This memo describes an experimental method for the encapsulation of
  IP datagrams in avian carriers.  This specification is primarily
  useful in Metropolitan Area Networks.  This is an experimental, not
  recommended standard.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Overview and Rational

  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.  Unlike some network
  technologies, such as packet radio, communication is not limited to
  line-of-sight distance.  Connection oriented service is available in
  some cities, usually based upon a central hub topology.
