From the Graveyard
You just read about Alcatel-Lucent. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Lucent Technologies built Telecom switching, optical transport, wireless and Bell Labs. What became of it?
Lucent Technologies brought Telecom switching, optical transport, wireless and Bell Labs to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its merger with Alcatel-Lucent for US$13.4B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Alcatel-Lucent today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about MPLS. Here is what it replaced:
Frame Relay served 1990–2010. What ultimately replaced it?
Frame Relay switched variable-length frames over pre-provisioned permanent virtual circuits, dropping X.25's per-hop error correction (links were now clean) and pushing recovery to the endpoints for far higher throughput. Its job passed to MPLS — 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.
