She grew up in Loch Arbour, New Jersey.She is Jewish, both of her parents worked as engineers for the US government. EDUCATION: When studying at MIT Obtained a B.S. and M.S. in Mathematics and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from MIT in 1988.
SURPRISING FACT: Her work was initially underestimated by her own company, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), where she developed the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).Perlman persisted in her research and continued to work an innovative solutions to improve computer networks.
CONTRIBUTE: She is most famous for her invention of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Perlman also helped to improve the Internet Protocol (IP), AppleTalk and the Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) protocol.
INFLUENCE: Today we could not do without the STP protocol, fundamental in the field of telecommunications and information technology.
AlgorhymeI think that I shall never see a graph more lovely than a tree. A tree whose crucial property is loop-free connectivity. A tree which must be sure to span so packets can reach every LAN. First the root must be selected. By ID it is elected. Least cost paths from root are traced. In the tree these paths are placed. A mesh is made by folks like me then bridges find a spanning tree. The world would be a better place if more engineers, like me, hated technology. The stuff I design, if I'm successful, nobody will ever notice. Things will just work, and will be self-managing.
AWARD:1992/1997: Named as one of the 20 most influential people in the industry by Data Communications magazine, Perlman is the only person to be named in both issues. 2000: Honorary Doctorate, Royal Institute of Technology 2003: Silicon Valley Intellectual Property Law Association Inventor of the year 2005: Recipient of the first Anita Borg Institute Women of Vision Award for Innovation 2006: USENIX Lifetime Achievement Award 2008: IEEE Fellow for contributions to network routing and security protocols 2010: SIGCOMM Award 2014: Internet Hall of Fame induction 2016: Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery; National Inventors Hall of Fame induction BOOKS: Radia Perlman (1999).
