It's ready, nothing to enjoy.

ICMP packets can be arbitrary length, and there are plenty of tcp-over-icmp tunnels.

Not what I meant, I meant icmp as storage, not as communication.

There was this article a long time ago about using packets in transit as storage/memory, mischeivously for free.

Turns out this is how early memory worked, i think it was called delay line memory, made of mercury, i think PDP and DEC era
