Показать описание
Ready to take a trip back to the 1980’s and learn some networking history? We talk with Alan Kirby, who was there forty years ago when the first Ethernet bridge was created at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). He explains the story of why and how it came to be.

We discuss how Ethernet compared to competing protocols in use at the time, why Alan and colleagues decided to build a prototype Ethernet bridge, how DEC turned it into a product, and what happened to that product. We also talk about Ethernet's longevity and its future.
