As systems became more common, the time eventually arrived when a company\nor university would have two computers. The need then arose that data be\nexchanged between the two machines. This was the beginning of\n<glossary>SNEAKER-Net<\/glossary> (Slow, Non-Electrical Activity, Keeping\nEveryone Running), which was developed in the 1950s. With SNEAKER-Net, the\ntechnician copied data onto a tape or other media and, using his sneakers,\nran the tape over to the other machine to be loaded. In many organizations, even as late as the early 2000s,\n<glossary>SNEAKER-Net<\/glossary> was still employed as this is often the\nonly type of <glossary>network<\/glossary> some people thought they can afford.\n<\/p>\n<question id=\"252\" text=\"What was first widely used protocol for transfering files.\" \/>\n<question id=\"263\" text=\"Which of the following is NOT a common networking term.\" \/>\n<question id=\"\" type=\"mc\" text=\"What does UUCP stand for?\" \/>\n<question id=\"\" type=\"tf\" text=\"The first widely used protocol for transfering files.was Ethernet.\" \/>\n<concept id=\"\" description=\"The first widely used protocol for transfering files.was UUCP.\" \/>\n<p>\nIn 1976,\nresearchers at AT&T Bell Laboratories came to the rescue. This was the\ndevelopment of a serial line <glossary>protocol<\/glossary>\nto exchange data between <glossary>UNIX<\/glossary>\nmachines, which came to be known as <glossary>UUCP<\/glossary>, for\nUnix-to-Unix Copy. Over the years there were several changes, upgrades\nrevisions, etc. In 1983, AT&T released a new version that came to be known as\nHoneydanber <glossary>UUCP<\/glossary>, as it was\ndeveloped by Peter <b>Honey<\/b>man, <b>D<\/b>avid <b>A<\/b>. <b>N<\/b>owitz and\n<b>B<\/b>rian <b>E<\/b>.<b>R<\/b>edman.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAlthough, <glossary>UUCP<\/glossary>\nwas a good thing, system speed was limited by the serial line\nconnecting the two computers, the slowest component of the system. Since the system could only be as fast as its slowest component, there needed to be a way to speed up that slowest component.\nWell, serial line speeds increased, but that still was not enough. In the 1970s,\nXerox came out with <glossary>Ethernet<\/glossary>, which made high speed communication\nbetween computers possible. It was now possible for users to access remote\ncomputers and expect response times comparable to being logged in locally, rather\nthan experiencing delays as was common with the serial line communication of the\nday. (We’ll get into more details on Ethernet later.)<\/p>\n<p>\nToday, prices have dropped to the point that Ethernet networks are commonplace and if you don’t\nhave it in your house you probably have something more advanced. <glossary>UUCP<\/glossary> is probably not used\nanywhere other than countries with a poor telephone infrastructure.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBecause of that, going into details about <glossary>UUCP<\/glossary>\nis beyond the scope of this tutorial. Therefore, I leave it to you to take a look at the <glossary>UUCP<\/glossary>\n<glossary>HOWTO<\/glossary> if you are interested in configuring UUCP.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Networking Long ago (at least in terms of the history of electronic data processing) having two computers at the same time was something you read about in science fiction novels.
