X.25 Virtual Circuits — Transpac in France — Pre-internet Data Networking
Abstract
Two previous articles in this series, by Peter Kirstein and Tony Rybczynski, covered the early history of packet switching in the United Kingdom and Canada [1], [2]. This one is about the early history of packet switching in France. It presents the steps that led the public Transpac network, based on standards of this period, to become the largest of its generation.
