hrm, I don't see this in any online OSI docs- but I'd assume the 
following,


Physical Layer (1)
Homing Pigeons (and carrying apparatus)

Data Link Layer (2)
Paper

Network Layer (3)
IP, (or physical location coordinate mapping from birdbrain, 
[literally])

Transport Layer (4)
TCP (or PTP, 'piegons trusting people' who they know)

Session Layer (6)
Usually ports, but I guess Piegon cage # would suffice.

Application Layer (7)
Human manual read of the packet

Hrm... perhaps some sort of emergency network could be put in place for 
nycbug folks?  PGP key-signing for this emerging Piegonnet at next 
meeting? (though we have to figure out some things, as the pgp 
handshake itself could take weeks to complete...)
