内容简介

In Retrospect En route to San Francisco, CA, August, 1993 for the Interop conven-tion, I contemplated the history of internetworking as I ate lunch dur-ing the flight. After lunch, I wrote my thoughts on a napkin. They were: First came something, next came a variety, chaos followed. Pain broughtforth integration; ignorance en masse followed. An awareness of gridlock appeared. Education culminated in a glut of information. An attempt to harness this information followed. Mankind awaited its destiny. 8-24-93 Ed Taylor Purpose of This Book.
