Abstract :
Token ring local area networks (LANs) are now obsolete technologies, but early work on them at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology produced networks that have left their mark on today´s LANs. Noel Chiappa tells the story of early work at the Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) at MIT on token rings.
