About this title

From the Author

Just hours before the invention of Ethernet
Packet Communication was my 1973 Harvard PhD dissertation, based on research at MIT Project Mac (now the Laboratory for Computer Science) and the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. Ethernet, the networking standard (IEEE 802.3) that now connects over 100 million computers, was invented on May 22, 1973, just hours after Packet Communication was completed. If you read carefully, you'll find the ideas which led to Ethernet. Development of the Internet's TCP/IP protocols also began in 1973, that summer at Stanford under Vint Cerf, and you'll find some inklings of that here to. Thanks.

Synopsis

Dealing with the development of wide area networks, especially the Internet, this work, written by the inventor of Ethernet, is a mathematical exposition of the fundamental packet switching techniques employed by both TCP/IP and Ethernet.
