"Metcalfe graduated from MIT in 1969 with two S.B. degrees, one in Electrical Engineering and the other in management from the MIT Sloan School of Management. He then went to Harvard for graduate school, earning his M.S. in 1970 and his Ph.D. in applied mathematics in 1973, with a thesis on packet switching (which was actually written while working at MIT's Project MAC). Metcalfe was working at Xerox PARC in 1973 when he invented Ethernet"

Разработка лично Metcalfe, который в тот же год защитил диссертацию
в MIT, на ту же самую тему. Ксерокс воспользовался исследованием,
произведенным за счет грантов DARPA.

Привет.
