Robert "Bob" Melancton Metcalfe (born April 7, 1946) [2] [3] is an American engineer and entrepreneur who contributed to the development of the internet in the 1970s. He co-invented Ethernet, co-founded 3Com, and formulated Metcalfe's law, which describes the effect of a telecommunications network.
Ethernet was developed at Xerox PARC between 1973 and 1974 [4] [5] as a means to allow Alto computers to communicate with each other. [6] It was inspired by ALOHAnet, which Robert Metcalfe had studied as part of his PhD dissertation [7] [8] and was originally called the Alto Aloha Network. [6]
David Reeves Boggs (June 17, 1950 – February 19, 2022) was an American electrical and radio engineer who developed early prototypes of Internet protocols, file servers, gateways, network interface cards [1] and, along with Robert Metcalfe and others, co-invented Ethernet, the most popular family of technologies for local area computer networks.
From 1970 to 1983, he managed the Computer Science Laboratory of the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), where technologies such as Ethernet and the Xerox Alto were developed. [46] He was the founder and manager of Digital Equipment Corporation's Systems Research Center until 1996. [47]
A number of experimental and early commercial LAN technologies were developed in the 1970s. Ethernet was developed at Xerox PARC between 1973 and 1974. [15] [16] The Cambridge Ring was developed at Cambridge University starting in 1974. [17] ARCNET was developed by Datapoint Corporation in 1976 and announced in 1977. [18]
The Internet protocol suite as defined in RFC 1122 and RFC 1123 is a model of networking developed contemporarily to the OSI model, and was funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Defense. It was the foundation for the development of the Internet .
IEEE 802.3 is a working group and a collection of standards defining the physical layer and data link layer's media access control (MAC) of wired Ethernet.The standards are produced by the working group of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Diosdado P. Banatao (born May 23, 1946) is a Filipino entrepreneur and engineer working in the high-tech industry, [2] credited with having developed the first 10-Mbit Ethernet CMOS with silicon coupler data-link control and transceiver chip, the first system logic chipset for IBM's PC-XT and the PC-AT, and one of the first graphical user interface (GUI) accelerators for personal computers.
