She was the only woman in the class and later reflected "I was not a hands-on type person. But she didn't feel like she fit underneath the stereotype of an "engineer" as she did not break apart computer parts ĭespite being the best science and math student in her school it was only when Perlman took a programming class in high school that she started to consider a career that involved computers. While her mother helped her with her math homework, they mainly talked about literature and music. She enjoyed playing the piano and French horn. During her school years Perlman found math and science to be “effortless and fascinating”, but had no problem achieving top grades in other subjects as well. Her father worked on radar and her mother was a mathematician by training who worked as a computer programmer. Both of her parents worked as engineers for the US government. Perlman was born in 1951, Portsmouth, Virginia. As of 2022, she was a Fellow at Dell Technologies. More recently she has invented the TRILL protocol to correct some of the shortcomings of spanning trees, allowing Ethernet to use optimal use of bandwidth. She received lifetime achievement awards from USENIX in 2006 and from the Association for Computing Machinery’s SIGCOMM in 2010. She was elected to the Internet Hall of Fame in 2014, and to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2016. Perlman was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2015 for contributions to Internet routing and bridging protocols. She also made large contributions to many other areas of network design and standardization: for example, enabling today's link-state routing protocols, to be more robust, scalable, and easy to manage. Her innovations have made a huge impact on how networks self-organize and move data. She is most famous for her invention of the spanning-tree protocol (STP), which is fundamental to the operation of network bridges, while working for Digital Equipment Corporation, thus earning her nickname "Mother of the Internet". She is a major figure in assembling the networks and technology to enable what we now know as the internet.
Radia Joy Perlman ( / ˈ r eɪ d i ə/ born December 18, 1951) is an American computer programmer and network engineer. Network layer protocols with Byzantine robustness (1988) “Start out with finding the right problem to solve.Network and security protocols computer books Her advice to young coders during an interview with ITworld? Perlman has continued her work on network design throughout her life, including writing and co-writing textbooks on the subject like “Interconnections” and “Network Security.” Among her many accolades and awards, she’s been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the Internet Hall of Fame. STP changed the way the internet runs, many dubbing Perlman “the mother of the internet,” a title she disputes saying, “I did indeed make some fundamental contributions to the underlying infrastructure, but no single technology really caused the Internet to succeed.” In 1984, while working as a consulting engineer at the Digital Equipment Corporation, she was tasked with developing a system for file sharing between computers and came up with STP, which enables networks to deliver data and avoid loops. in math and ultimately get a Ph.D in computer science. I assumed I'd either get electrocuted or I'd break something.” As an undergraduate at MIT, Perlman developed a child-friendly version of the the educational robotics language LOGO entitled Toddler's Own Recursive Turtle Interpreter System, or TORTIS, to help young children learn to program. “It never occurred to me to take anything apart. “I was not a hands-on type person,” she’s said of her years prior to the experience.
It wasn’t until she signed up for a programming class in high school that Perlman began to seriously consider a career in computers. It was the arts, however, that truly drew her in, a fan of classical music who played both piano and the French horn and wrote her own compositions. Growing up in New Jersey, she was the best science and math student in her school. An American computer programmer whose work hugely influenced the way network security is taught, Perlman has more than one hundred patents to her name. Perlman famously invented STP, one of the building blocks of the internet. “I think that I shall never see, a graph more lovely than a tree,” said Radia Perlman in her poem about a solution to file sharing between computers called the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
