Fundamentals of Ethernet

16 Pages

Ethernet traces its roots to the University of Hawaii’s ALOHA network, created in 1968 by Norman Abramson as one of the first shared‑media packet radio systems. In 1973, Robert Metcalfe and David Boggs at Xerox adapted ALOHA’s principles to build the first local area network, originally called Alto ALOHA and later renamed Ethernet. This early Ethernet operated at 2.94 Mbps and was even adopted by the White House for word processing, though it was not widely commercialized at first. These innovations laid the foundation for modern Ethernet technology.
