How to Invent Anything - using the Internet as an example

Lessons on invention culled from interviews by UCLA undergraduates of 5 inventors of the Internet: Kleinrock (Packet Switching), Metcalfe (Ethernet), Perlman (Spanning Tree), Mockapetris (DNS), and Cerf (TCP/IP). The shared invention patterns for these Internet pioneers may be useful for you (the viewer) to invent anything. Len talks about scaling laws in large networks, Bob about the rat's nest of wires that preceded Ethernet, Radia on self-stabilization and constant overhead, Paul on scaling DNS to the planet, and Vint on how IP's design flowed from its design constraints. Pradeep Dogga and Eric Newberry facilitated this series.
