Partage HD et PRT, #Ethernet, #AppleTalk ou #Tokenring
Et vous, quels furent vos 1ers réseaux locaux ?
@kalleboo Are there any TokenTalk members?
Just-for-the-lulz, of course, as Apple's implementation of Token Ring is, unfortunately, slower than Ethernet, according to exhaustive tests of a colleague of mine, PoC.
The creator over on the YouTube channel clabretro has a great video of connecting multiple computers and a Token Ring/Ethernet bridge to a Token Ring MAU.
Does anyone have a spare Bay Networks Centillion C100 switch for us?
We’d like to use it to “switch” TokenRing to Fast Ethernet. Currently, we‘re routing it, but …
@deBaer Wäre dabei, wenn ich dabei wäre :-/ Klappt zeitlich leider diesmal nicht.
Ich könnte sonst Routing von 4-, 16- und 100 MBit/s TokenRing (Kupfer) nach Ethernet anbieten, für IP und AppleTalk.
Snüff.

El 15 de octubre de 1985, IBM anuncia su propia red Token Ring. Corria a 4 Mb/s y su acoplamiento era posible desde IBM PCs, mainframes y servidores

"…the #Cybertruck cranks things up a notch, with a radically new wiring harness that Tesla calls #Etherloop. This consists of a single continuous gigabit Ethernet cable that loops around the interior of the Cybertruck. Remember #TokenRing? It connects to 368 endpoints & reduces cross-vehicle wiring by 68%. Data is time-sliced and latency is just 0.5ms. If the loop is cut, data goes other way around."

Spent many hours compiling Madge network drivers into the Linux Kernel. Think I still have some token ring cards in my 'Man Cave Archive' :-O

New blog post: An Affair with IPv6 DAD
The title of this post refers to a network function commonly known as duplicate address detection (DAD). The complete story will cover a range of seemingly unrelated technologies including ARP, Perl socket programming, systemd, IPv6, and a once-popular LAN technology that if you’ve never seen you probably never will, Token Ring. It all starts with a fake DNS server. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention DNS is here as well, but that is just a happy coincidence.

@coleens_ I'm still excited about Wireless networking. So many people have no idea how revolutionary it was.
Every time I see some data transfer at 300 Mbps **through the air** it's like a little miracle. Like Nikola Tesla's dream is closer to reality.
I remember #tokenring
Oh, seems there were #TokenRing #NuBus cards for #Mac68k…

Et Gérard Le Mann rappelle aussi que tous les experts expliquaient doctement qu'#Ethernet n'avait aucun avenir dans le monde-sérieux-de-l-entreprise-qui-crée des-richesses et qu'il fallait utiliser le désormais bien oublié #TokenRing.
