This paper is carried out to critically examine and evaluate the implementation of offline data transfer, most commonly known as sneakernet. This work reviews the details of the available information of the current and proposes possible future deployment of sneakernet. The idea of the concept theory is based on the available and future advancement of the technology. The expensive data transfer for delay-tolerant applications is solved in this work by employing massive sneakernet in various range utilization. This concept is able to reduce the burden of backbone networks and still be able to bring the information from source to destination securely. Another advantages of the proposed concept are the introduction of the security layer during information in transit. The viability of the concept is assessed based on the use-cases and the standard sneakernet procedure.
