  1. Das Teil habe ich auch schon lange nicht mehr gesehen.
    Zuletzt, glaube ich, in den 90er bei der Lufthansa ;-)

  2. My first, and maybe most notable, contribution to Wikipedia was the creation of [IBM] Token Ring page in October 2001. Some remnants of the original text surprisingly survive to this day: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?t

    For those who only ever heard about it, that tech was just about dead even at the time of writing. :-)

  3. TIL: The IEEE 802.5 standard for Token Ring networking is expected to be replaced by a new 802.25 Tolkien Ring protocol. The proposed standard is expected to be approved by the next working group meeting, to be held in October in Minas Morgul.

    #silicium collection
    Serveur propriétaire du début des réseaux locaux était un NAS sans terminal sous 3+share,80186,MS-DOS custom mais incompatible PC.
    Partage HD et PRT, #Ethernet, #AppleTalk ou #Tokenring
    Et vous, quels furent vos 1ers réseaux locaux ?

  5. @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.

  6. 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 …

  11. @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.

  12. "…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."

  13. 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

  14. 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.

  16. 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.
