Yeah I can imagine using TCP from one gateway to another. It just seems like for a legit sneakernet you wouldn't want to use TCP at the edges.
So just to add, sneakernet may not always be the edges. People at various country borders have legitimate reasons to cross a border every day, and then pass their data to the next hop for example. May even be less risky than pointing an IR laser across the border or something like that. But morse code encoded IR flashlights can be mobile (you know it should be in a general area) but then there's false data (so transmission by an attacker to confuse or denial of service this method), but zip that's for another day lol.
Thinking of doing dronenets next what do you think?

Oh good point. But the point of points is that ideally the transport is irrelevant. A snearknet is a transport protocol, yet to properly be a protocol it would probably need an addressing scheme and gateways to networks that use other transport protocols.

idk. I'd be more interested in how we might create a legit global sneakernet protocol that covers less breadth of considerations and goes deep on requirements and details.
