RE: Transmission of IPv6 Jumbograms as Atomic Fragments

> AERO/OMNI calls them "carrier packets", in the spirit of RFC1149.

RFC6214  ("Adaptation of RFC 1149 for IPv6") shows that Brian and Bob know
something about this. People look at the publication dates and think that they
are some kind of a joke, but I assure you that avian carriers were responsible
for saving countless lives during some of the darker periods of world history.

The term "carrier" adopted by AERO/OMNI therefore is fully intended to show
honor and respect - and gratefulness that the types of carriers available to us
today have enabled what we know now as the modern Internet.
