Ethernet history

In 1973, Bob Metcalfe sent an internal memo to his colleagues at Xerox proposing a local system of interacting workstations, files, and printers. The devices would all be linked by one coaxial cable, he said, and would run within a local area network. He called the system an Ether Network, or Ethernet. And 36 years later Ethernet is going on strong, although the technology has changed more than a bit on the way. In this original vision, there was no need for hubs. Somehow once everything became balanced twisted pairs the “ether” became segmented into little mini-ethers held back from each other by digital logic.

Photo and original diagram of the world’s first ethernet cable web page has a nice picure of the first Ethernet cable installation and first drawings of Ethernet vision.

  1. Hi,

    Indian stock market is one of the most volatile market. Its two main stock exchanges are NSEand BSE. Both exchanges generally follow same trend.

    NSE and BSE offers platform for investment in Indian stock market. In India there are many traders who prefer NSE over BSE as they consider BSE
    as more volatile exchange but truth is that all exchanges be it NSE, BSE or LSE are volatile and should not be considered as a place for speculation.
    One should strictly follow technical analyses if they want to earn regularly from any stock market.

    Please remember analyses of stock market be it technical or fundamental do help!!

  29. Hi,

    Stock market India is volatile and all those who speculate in market are loosing everyday. Please remember stock market is not for speculation purpose. If one feel investing in stock market is gamble then its better to think again.

    One should always note that if they want to invest money they should do proper research be it fundamental research or technical research. Just think how come you can invest
    your money without any convincing reason for the same?

    Indian stock market is one of the most happening and emerging market. Major Indian stock exchanges are BSE and NSE and both are of world class standards.

    So grab good stocks and invest that’s the bottom line.

    We hope to see you in major profits.

  30. Fine blog. I got a lot of good info. I’ve been keeping an eye on this technology for awhile. It’s interesting how it keeps changing, yet some of the core components stay the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their latest acquisition in the field?

  31. Jaylin Imram says:

    Great article. There’s a lot of good data here, though I did want to let you know something – I am running Mac OS X with the current beta of Firefox, and the design of your blog is kind of flaky for me. I can understand the articles, but the navigation doesn’t function so great.

  32. tomi says:

    Strange thast you have problems with Firefox, because Firefox is the main browser I have used when developing this site (running on both on Windows and Linux).

  47. lol many of the remarks many people enter are kinda silly, commonly i contemplate whether they in reality read the content material and content before leaving a comment or whether or not they simply look at the subject of the blog post and publish the very first idea that comes to mind. anyhow, it is actually good to read keen commentary once in a while as opposed to the very same, old oppinion vomit which i oftentimes notice on the internet
