Recalling CYCLADES, France's pioneering 1970s computer network

Original: @ lispi314 @ aria @ valere @ tusharhero The Cyclades project started in 1971. Running from 1973 with four nodes in Franc

Participants in an online discussion are revisiting CYCLADES, the French research network launched in 1971 under Louis Pouzin. Running from 1973 with four nodes in France, it expanded to twenty nodes across three countries by 1976 and pioneered the datagram model later central to the internet's design. A documentary on the French engineers behind the project was also recommended in the conversation.

Why now: People are discussing early internet history and the under-recognised French contributions of CYCLADES.
