This presentation will trace the history and deve lopment of Ethernet as a 10 Mb/s product up through the release of the DIX (DEC-Intel-Xerox) spec in 1980 as a multi-vendor open specification for i ndustry. This was the starting point for the IEEE 802.3 Standard where its ongoing development continues to this day.\n\nOur presenters will be a pa nel of experts involved at that time. Their presentations will have elabor ation from a select group of the actual implementors in addition to questi ons fielded from the audience at large.\n\nhttps://r6.ieee.org/sv-techhist ory/wp-content/uploads/sites/98/2022/03/BobMetcalfe-300px.png Bob Metcalfe co-invented Ethernet in 3 Mb/s form in 1973 with Dave Boggs. They spread Ethernet’s use along with the Alto personal computer and laser printing throughout the Xerox R&D community during the 70’s. Bob became the relen tless promotor of Ethernet both inside Xerox and externally\, most visibly as founder and the public face of 3Com\, vigorously promoting Ethernet th roughout industry. In his many activities since then he remains Mr. Ethern et above all else. He is a Fellow of The Computer History Museum\nhttps:// r6.ieee.org/sv-techhistory/wp-content/uploads/sites/98/2022/03/DavidLiddle 2.jpg Dave Liddle worked in research at Xerox PARC where he provided key e lements to the first Ethernets. In 1975 he became head of the new System D evelopment Division (SDD) to productize a better\, top-down-designed\, cus tomer-rugged version of the Alto and Ethernet. That engineering effort (~2 50 engineers at its peak) resulted in the November 1980 announcement of th e Xerox Network System of network servers (file\, print\, gateway) and Apr il 1981 announcement of the Xerox Star 8010 Professional Workstation\, all using the new 10-Mb/s Ethernet. He later co-founded and served as CEO for Metaphor Computer Systems\, Inc.\, and was President and CEO of Interval Research Corporation. He has served on the board of many corporations as w ell as The Santa Fe Institue and SRI International.\nhttps://r6.ieee.org/s v-techhistory/wp-content/uploads/sites/98/2022/03/GordonBell-300px.png Gor don Bell was an early employee of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) and later became Vice President of Engineering there. He was instrumental in t he decision to choose Ethernet as the network for DEC and for its promotio n as an open standard. Among his activities he had a stint a Microsoft Res earch.
