Chaosnet.

Abstract

Chaosnet is a local network, that is, a system for communication among a group of computers located within about 1000 meters of each other. Originally developed by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory as the internal communications medium of the Lisp Machine system, it has since come to be used to link a variety of machines around MIT and elsewhere. This memo describes both the hardware and software protocols. It is intended to be the definitive documentation for Chaosnet. (Author)
