To the best of my knowledge, at the time it was developed at PARC in
1973/74, it was referred to as "Ethernet" (or "The Ethernet") and
later was
referred to as "Xerox Experimental Ethernet" likely to differentiate it
from the developing 10mbit standards...

Ethernet was the name given to the Alto (XEROX) Aloha
Network created (?)
by Bob Metcalff (sp?), which was based/inspired by an improved version of
the ALOHANET used by the U of Hawaii. I think Ethernet was a nickname,
eventually becoming the official name of what was originally the Alto Aloha
Network.
I did not look this up in Wikipedia, I am sure this must be somewhere

Does anybody know names / terms that correspond
to the original 3 Mbps
Ethernet?
I.e. 10 Mbps Ethernet is also knows as Ethernet II (2) and D.I.X. (for
Digital, Intel, and Xerox).
Was the first 3 Mbps Ethernet simply called "Ethernet" with an implicit
"I" (1)? Was there a name to differentiate it from D.I.X.?
