The original sources and texinfo document corresponding to "Chaosnet", MIT AI memo 628, by David A Moon. This is sometimes referred to as the "Amber" document (from "9 Princes in Amber", where the name Chaos comes from [ref]).
Abstract
Chaosnet is a local network, that is, a system for communication among a group of computers located within about 1000 meters of each other. Originally developed by the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory as the internal communications medium of the Lisp Machine system, it has since come to be used to link a variety of machines around MIT and elsewhere.
This memo describes both the hardware and the software protocols. It is intended to be the definitive documentation for Chaosnet.
The source document (in Bolio, included for reference) was translated to Texinfo by @ams, with later improvements and touch-ups by @bictorv.
