  8. Nov 30, 2017 · While Perlman thinks her contributions that make routing protocols resilient, scalable, and manageable are her most important contributions, she is perhaps best known for designing the spanning tree algorithm in the early 1980’s, which transformed Ethernet from the original limited-scalability, single-wire CSMA/CD, into a protocol that can ...
