This repository serves as a collection of LaTeX documents and their compiled PDFs. The first document in this collection is Metcalfe_Boggs, a recreation of the foundational Ethernet paper.
To generate PDFs from the LaTeX source files, run the following script in the paper's root directory:
./compileall.shThis script will compile each .tex file and produce the corresponding .pdf output.
The Metcalfe-Boggs document is a LaTeX recreation of the influential paper:
"Ethernet: Distributed Packet Switching for Local Computer Networks" by Robert M. Metcalfe and David R. Boggs, published in 1976.
This paper introduced Ethernet, a pioneering local area network (LAN) technology that revolutionized computer networking. It described a method for enabling multiple computers to communicate efficiently over a shared medium using a system of packet-switching and carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD). The work laid the foundation for modern wired networking and remains one of the most important contributions to computer science and telecommunications.
If you'd like to contribute additional LaTeX documents, feel free to submit a pull request with your .tex file. Ensure that your document compiles correctly using compileall.sh before submitting.
