Chaosnet

Chaosnet is a local area network technology. It was first developed by Thomas Knight and Jack Holloway at MIT's AI Lab in 1975 and thereafter. It refers to two separate, but closely related, technologies. The more widespread was a set of packet-based computer communication protocols intended to connect Lisp machines, which had been recently developed and were very popular at MIT; the second was one of the earliest local area network (LAN) hardware implementations.
