From the Graveyard
You just read about Alcatel. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Packet Engines built Gigabit Ethernet switches. What became of it?
Packet Engines brought Gigabit Ethernet switches to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Alcatel for US$315M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Alcatel today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
