第一：
Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner: Cross-campus Internet workers.
They might not have invented the router, as is often believed (see Q&A), but the two Stanford University employees built one heck of a company to exploit it.
The two recognized the multiprotocol router's commercial potential and founded Cisco in late 1984;
when they left in 1990 (Lerner was forced out, and Bosack left of his own volition immediately thereafter), the company had grown from an unknown, four-employee start-up to a 250-person, publicly traded industry trend-setter with a market cap of $224 million. Today Cisco remains the router leader, as well as a dominant player in the access, switch, security, storage, VoIP and wireless markets. That market cap? It had grown to more than $120 billion as of late last month.

Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner这 2个斯坦福大学的employee 于1984创立了思科公司， 1990他们离开，Cisco已经从一个无人知道只有4个雇员发展成为 250人和一个2.24亿美刀的市场的领先潮流着。

第2：
Desh Deshpande: Framed the future.
Deshpande launched a data-services revolution in 1991, when he founded switch maker Cascade Communications and propelled the concept of frame relay into the industry's consciousness.
Cascade quickly became a dominant network vendor, growing from a one-person start-up to a $500 million company with 900 employees that Ascend Communications acquired in 1997 for $3.7 billion. Thanks in large part to Deshpande's efforts, frame relay has proven to be one of the most successful data services ever, the longtime de facto data communications standard for enterprise networks. After selling Cascade, Deshpande co-founded Sycamore Networks in 1998. Ever the entrepreneur and always the revolutionary, Deshpande this time brought the concept of intelligent optical switching to the foreground.

1991年， 当Desh Deshpande创建了 switch 制造商Cascade Communication并推动‘Frame Relay'(帧中继)概念成为业界的意识后, 他开始了 data-service的革命，
Cascade迅速成为统治性的网络的vendor, 从一个人起步成长为5亿美元，拥有900个雇员。 1997年，被 Ascend Communication 以37亿美元收购。
这是这位帅哥的PP....

这位也很帅啊,以太网他爹!!!!

第3：
Bob Metcalfe: Talk about a legacy.
As a young engineer at Xerox PARC in 1973, Metcalfe invented Ethernet.
Little did anyone know the technology, meant to connect local computers, would become synonymous with networking. There's no end in sight for Ethernet's dominance. Now operating at gigabit-plus speeds, it's a choice for even local, metropolitan and wide-area networks. Since his early days at PARC and then 3Com, which he founded in 1979, Metcalfe has been one of the industry's preeminent visionaries. He continues in that role today, helping develop upstart technology companies for Polaris Venture Partners.

1973年, Bob Metcalfe 还是一名 Xerox PARC(施乐的一个研发中心)的年轻工程师，他发明了以太网。很少有人知道这项连接本地计算机的技术会成为networking的同义词！！！

美特卡夫,这位帅哥的PP....

Ray Noorda: LAN man.
Noorda took over the helm of struggling Novell in 1982 and in the process of resurrecting the company created the market for network operating systems.
His insistence that engineers figure out a way to turn a bunch of disparate PCs into a networked entity turned Novell into the go-to LAN software vendor for years. Noorda's insight - that getting LAN technology entrenched in corporate America would require teams of highly trained and certified individuals - spawned reseller and certification programs still widely imitated today

Ray Noorda, LAN人!!!
1982执掌奋斗中的Novell的帅印，在复苏进程中，公司建立了网络操作系统的市场。

这位被人称为“Mother of the internet”， 互联网他妈！看看名字都这么IT和酷。。 Perl + man , 巾帼不让须眉啊！！ ..

Radia Perlman: No path uncovered.
Though a prolific inventor to this day, Perlman is perhaps best known for her seminal routing work of the 1980s.
Her spanning-tree algorithm, a network staple, made robust, scalable networking a reality. A much-respected educator and collaborator, Perlman today still specializes in sophisticated routing protocols and network security as a distinguished engineer at Sun.

到今天，Perlman是一个高产的发明家，她最为人知的还是在1980年的seminal routing的工作。她的spanning-tree algorithm(跨越数算法)，这个网络订书机，使得健壮的，scalable 的网络成为现实。

这位是MPLS他爹！！！现在是Juniper网络的一名杰出的工程师。。。无PP。。。（Juniper网络是Cisco的竞争对手).

Yakov Rekhter: Today's transport king.
MPLS has come of age, with carriers and large enterprises adopting the protocol in their next-generation networks.  Rekhter is known as the father of MPLS,  though others, such as renowned routing expert Tony Li, worked on the protocol. Rekhter, who is now a distinguished engineer at Juniper Networks, has several other essential protocols to his credit as well, including the ubiquitous Border Gateway Protocol.

Yakov Rekhter: 今日的Transport之王！
在下一代网络(NGN)运营商和大企业组织采用了成熟的MPLS协议。 Rekhter作为MPLS 他爹为人所知。他现在是一名杰出的 Juniper 网络的工程师。

这位来头也不小。我给他取名为Mosaic 他爹 ...Mosaic 是什么东西可能接触互联网晚的XD不清楚。 。。。大家打开IE里面的Help 下面的about就会看到。。。

Mark Andreessen: Internet revolutionary.
In 1993, while studying at the University of Illinois and working part time for the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, Andreessen and colleague Eric Bina created a user-friendly, graphical browser. Its first version, NCSA Mosaic for X Window System, was so wildly popular among peers, who had been used to plain text browsers, that the duo quickly created Mosaic browsers for non-Unix systems. Andreessen went on to develop a commercial version, initially called Mosaic Netscape, and the rest is history. Andreessen continues to think big as chairman of Opsware, the data-center automation company he co-founded as Loudcloud in 1999.

1993年，在Illinois 大学研究期间和在NCSA(National Center for Supercomputing Applications)打零工期间，Andreessen 和他的同事Eric Bina制作了一个用户友好的图形化浏览器。它的第一个版本， NCSA Mosaic for X windows 很快就流行起来。于是那些非Unix系统上面的Mosaic 浏览器就纷纷出来了。导致了Internet的革命。

Vint Cerf: Net weaver.
Cerf is widely hailed for his role in defining protocols that made it possible to stitch together stand-alone research networks to form the ARPANet, the precursor of today's Internet. In particular, we have him and fellow pioneering pals like Bob Kahn to thank for the now-ubiquitous IP. Today Cerf is tinkering with IP at the application layer in his position as chief Internet evangelist at Google.

Jon Postel: Orchestrating Internet standards.
Postel was another of the many quiet powerhouses behind the early Internet. He's credited with creating a clear, concise template for Internet standards and maintaining that set of unified standards documents. As Network World columnist Jim Kobielus notes, "He was the maestro who coordinated the development of many of the most fundamental open standards, without which the Internet and World Wide Web would never have risen so fast and spread so wide." Postel died in 1998 at the age of 55.

Laurie Bride: Open systems pioneer.
As an enterprise architect at Boeing throughout the 1980s and '90s, Bride had the industry's ear regarding the need to interconnect disparate computing systems. Much of early open systems work traces back to Bride, who authored the TOP portion of the Manufacturing Automation Protocol/Technical Office Protocol and actively worked on and demonstrated the Open Systems Interconnection model and TCP/IP.

Bill Gates: Opening windows the world over.
Since forging and then ditching his OS/2 partnership with IBM many years ago, Gates has been profoundly influencing the way enterprises develop, deploy and use software. Some might not appreciate his business tactics, but you usually don't get to deliver on your vision by being the nice guy.

Lou Gerstner: Leading the way to global services.
Although not a technologist by training, this former RJR Nabisco executive left his mark on the industry by realizing sooner than others the importance of services, open standards, the Internet, e-business and Linux, and helped usher in the age of flexible computing and services-oriented architecture development. With that vision, Gerstner turned the lumbering blue giant he ran from 1993 through 2002 into the powerhouse it is today.

Linus Torvalds: Open source's hero.
The open source movement is strong and growing, more so with each passing day, thanks in large part to Torvalds, who published his Linux kernel in 1991 while a university student in Helsinki. Today Torvalds works at the Open Source Development Labs to maintain Linux and accelerate its enterprise adoption.

Scott McNealy: Changing mind-sets.
Preaching "the network is the computer" gospel, McNealy opened minds to the idea of the networked environment and seamless connectivity in the late 1980s and early '90s. To follow that, in 1995 McNealy took the industry in a new direction - to the write once/run everywhere world of Java

TELECOM

Phil Evans: User advocate.
Evans, a president and longtime board member of the International Communications Association, helped shape the telecom industry in the post divestiture era. Widely respected as a network visionary, Evans influenced a generation of telecom and data communications managers in spearheading the ICA's educational efforts in an age of telecom services such as ISDN and frame relay. Evans crafted telecom strategies at a variety of Fortune 500 companies, including Ashland Oil, Dresser Industries, FMC and Occidental Petroleum. He also co-wrote The Network Manager's Handbook.

Harold Greene: Dictated change.
With his infamous 1984 Modified Final Judgment, this federal judge broke up the Bell System and forever changed the telecom industry. He expected competitive local and long-distance service to blossom if AT&T were a long-distance carrier and local services were left to seven regional holding companies. In reality, his decision led to regulatory and legislative wrangling that continues today. One has to wonder what Greene, who died in 2000, would make of today's market in general and the new AT&T in particular.

这个说的有意思：电信的最大的一杆枪！！

Ed Whitacre: Telecom's biggest gun.
Last year Whitacre brought the Bell System breakup full circle when he led SBC's acquisition of AT&T. The move was only natural for the tough-minded, savvy executive who has been reshaping telecom boundaries for years by acquiring fellow regional Bells Pacific Telesis and Ameritech. Now he's at it again, with AT&T's proposed acquisition of BellSouth.

Shlomo Kramer: Firewall evangelist.
Wherever there's an enterprise network, firewalls stand guard at its entry points. Some may argue that a garden-variety firewall no longer provides enough enterprise protection, but no one can deny how significant the technology has been for corporate security during the last decade. Kramer and his compadres at Check Point, including CEO Gil Schwed, for spurring widespread firewall use within the enterprise, while and Bell researchers Bill Cheswick and Steve Bellovin get the nod for educating the masses in their widely read Firewalls and Internet Security: Repelling the Wily Hacker.

Taher Elgamal: Encryption go-to guy.
The world of data is a more secure place thanks to Elgamal. While chief scientist at Netscape in the late '90s, this encryption guru pioneered the SSL protocol that is a primary security mechanism for extended enterprises and the Web. Before that, he oversaw the engineering team at RSA Security that developed the industry-standard RSA cryptographic tool kits. He has moved on from Securify, which he founded, and now is founder and chairman of his own company Ektasis in the eCommerce 2.0 market. He serves on the boards of Securify, Phoenix Technologies, Tumbleweed, hifn, Facetime and Vindiciaan.
