The show Reading Rainbow inspired me to read and shoot for the stars!
I work for the Univeristy of Southern Mississippi as a Network Administrator, where I have been employed for the last 9 years. I started out as a Help Desk technician and moved up slowly from there.
I have attained a number of certifications while working in IT. Among those that I've earned, my favorite has been the CCNA. I'm currently working on earning the Cisco Certified Network Professional and the Certified Wireless Network Administrator.
Prof Jeremy Graves is one of the teachers that started teaching me networking when I first started working at USM. His teaching, kindness, and friendship is what propelled me to attain my networking certification, and ulimately enabled me to get a job in the Networking department in iTech.
I'm thankful for my many opportunities.

In computer networking, IP over Avian Carriers (IPoAC) is a proposal to carry Internet Protocol (IP) traffic by birds such as homing pigeons. IP over Avian Carriers was initially described in RFC 1149 issued by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), written by D. Waitzman, and released on April 1, 1990.
Waitzman described an improvement of his protocol in RFC 2549, IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service (1 April 1999). Later, in RFC 6214—released on 1 April 2011, and 13 years after the introduction of IPv6—Brian Carpenter and Robert Hinden published Adaptation of RFC 1149.
IPoAC has been successfully implemented, but for only nine packets of data, with a packet loss ratio of 55% (due to operator error), and a response time ranging from 3,000 seconds (50 min) to over 6,000 seconds (100 min). Thus, this technology suffers from high latency.
