From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
ARCNET served 1977–1990. What ultimately replaced it?
ARCNET a token-passing bus/star LAN where a token circulated by station address (not physical position), giving predictable performance over coax at 2.5 Mbit/s. Its job passed to Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
