IPoAC is a joke about printing actual IP packets, sending them by pigeon, then scanning them.
You do the whole usual TCP ACK/SYN thing, but with pigeons.
It's not the same as 'sneakernet, but strapping microsd cards to a pigeon'. It's way, way sillier.
You know, explaining jokes doesn't make them funnier.
It makes them funnier the next time I hear them, in a new context though :)
