All Networks

Pioneers whose defining contribution is how separate computers exchange information: protocols, addressing and the physical and logical media the field of Networks studies, unchanged from the atlas's prior Computer Networking pioneer field. Tim Berners Lee's World Wide Web, Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn's TCP/IP, Robert Metcalfe's Ethernet, Donald Davies's independent invention of packet switching and Radia Perlman's Spanning Tree Protocol. Does not belong here: a pioneer whose defining work is a system that runs atop the network rather than the network itself, filed under Computer Systems Organization instead.
