| 释义 | Metcalfe, Robert Melancton (1946–) Credited as the inventor of the local area network (LAN) con- cept and the enabling technology. Metcalfe and his associates at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Xerox PARC) developed the first LAN, which originally was known as the Altos Aloha Network as it connected Altos computers through a network based on the AlohaNet packet radio system technology developed at the University of Hawaii.The network later (1973) became known as Ethernet, from luminiferous ether, the omnipresent passive medium once conjectured to pervade all space and to support the propagation of electromagnetic energy, even through a vacuum. See also ether, Ethernet, LAN, Metcalfe’s law, and Xerox PARC. |
