Researcher runs IP network over xylophones

http://j.mp/JSkhxN   (Network World)

   "Vint Cerf once wore a shirt that read "IP on Everything," a wry
    comment on the versatility of the Internet Protocol he helped invent,
    a protocol that underlies all Internet communication. Now a University
    of California Berkeley researcher has put Cerf's maxim to the test,
    running an IP network over a set of xylophones, played by human
    participants."

Wait until they hit their XSP (Xylophone Service Provider) bandwidth cap
and get throttled back to wood blocks.
