Seeing that the two people in front of him didn't give face at all, they directly and neatly rejected his proposal, and immediately Gatter's face with a warm smile twitched violently, embarrassed on the spot.

Well, since neither of you is willing to back down, let you fight, although their IEEE influence is very large, but this does not mean that as long as they are adopted, everything will be fine.

Although Feiyue Technology Company will suffer here this time, it does not mean that they have no way out, on the contrary, they have many other opportunities, such as the European Committee for Standardization, the International Organization for Standardization, or take advantage of the price of technology, carry out a large number of distribution, first form a de facto standard, and then make money.

There are many successful examples, such as the very long-standing QWERTY keyboard, which was patented in 1868 and successfully put on the market in 1873 when the first commercial typewriter using the QWERTY layout was successfully put on the market.

And what is his principle, the design is just to separate the commonly used letters on the keyboard, so that the speed of keystrokes will be slightly slower, and the occurrence of failures will be reduced.

In 1936, a man named Dvorak in Washington invented a new arrangement of words in order to allow his left and right hands to alternately hit more words, and this keyboard could shorten the training cycle time by 1/2 and increase the average speed by 35%. SINCE THEN, THERE HAVE BEEN MORE REASONABLE AND EFFICIENT MALT KEYBOARDS THAN DVORAK KEYBOARDS, BUT NONE OF THIS HAS SHAKEN THE DE FACTO STANDARD OF QWERTY KEYBOARDS, WHICH IS A VERY TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF AN INFERIOR PRODUCT WINNING OVER AN ADVANTAGEOUS PRODUCT.

The challenge for Metcalfe is even greater, because they don't have a technical advantage over tech companies, so the outcome is even more uncertain.

"Well, since both of you don't think there's a win-win situation for cooperation, it's up to me to announce the Internet technology standards that will be adopted by our organization next month, Mr. Metcalfe, congratulations. Your Ethernet Protocols will be documented in the next year's new edition of our magazines, journals, and books. We hope that with our continued efforts, we will continue to develop and improve this technical standard......"

At this point, Gate's had nothing to hide, and directly announced the result. At the same time, he gave Powell the information in his hand. It contains information on their technical standards, the results of the 802 group discussions, and notices.

"Mr. Gate. You're not kidding, our OSI Internet Reference Model technical standard is much more advanced than Metcalfe's DIX Ethernet Protocol, and it has no limitations. Are you sure we didn't make the cut? ”

Powell is a straight man, but also an expert in Internet technology, the reason why he was so confident before, is that they have previously tested and compared their company's OSI reference model with the technical standards of the other party's "Ethernet Protocol", their OSI reference model is completely applicable to any large, medium and small network, without any restrictions, and the other party, only suitable for the formation of 10Mbps local area network, compared with the two, which is better or worse is very obvious.

"Powell, accept the reality, IEEE stands for standardization authority, Mr. Gate, their choice is naturally our "Ethernet Protocol" is more desirable than your OSI reference model!"

Seeing the smile on Powell's original face stiffen on his face as Gate's announcement of the result, and then turned into incomprehension, surprise and anger, Metcalfe's heart was as sour as drinking a glass of freshly squeezed lemon juice on ice on a hot day.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Powell, but this is a decision that we made after discussion with IEEE802 members of the group, and I hope you can understand!"

Hopefully, this incident won't have any impact on their IEEE authority, Getter said sorry to Powell and prayed in his heart, and that they might have to do some other work to ensure that this outcome.

"It's a pity, but I'm sure you'll regret it, I'm sure, goodbye!"

In the end, this was the result, which made Powell's heart very angry, especially when he saw Metcalfe's sneering expression written all over his face, he didn't want to stay in this place even more, just let this guy be proud for a while, threw down a cruel word, and he left this place without looking back and returned to the company.

"Mr. Gate, thank you very much for choosing our Ethernet Protocol as the technical standard for your 802 Working Group, I believe we will not let you down, and I wish us a happy cooperation!"

When his defeated Powell completely left Gate's office, Metcalfe warmly shook hands with Gate's hand to express his gratitude, with the help of IEEE, a very authoritative organization all over the world, he believed that their DIX Group would definitely be invincible, and as the initiator of this group, after the fact, his 3COM company would definitely make a lot of money from it, and he could gather a lot of wealth in a short period of time. That's a lot more than what he achieved at Xerox's Parker Institute.

"Mr. Metcalfe, the reason why we chose your Ethernet Protocols as the technical standard for our 802 Internet Working Group is largely because your technical standards have a lot of successful experience with their OSI Internet Reference Model, which is what we value the most.

However, some of their technical standard design concepts are still very advanced, and I think these are also places you can learn from! ”

Now that their IEEE 802 team and the DIX group are grasshoppers tied to the same boat, helping each other is helping themselves, and Gate doesn't want IEEE and his prestige to be affected.

"Rest assured, we're going to be innovating all the time, but Mr. Gate, we may have some other problems that we need your help with in this matter......

Giving Feiyue Technology a head-on blow, this is just the beginning, and next, they DIX Group also need to block the other party's path in several other places, so as to minimize the threat that the other party brings to them.

"Please!"

Sure enough, it was not easy to get out of this one.

"I heard that your IEEE and the International Organization for Standardization have a very good relationship, and if Mr. Gater can get their approval of our Ethernet Protocol, I think we will be even more grateful for your help to us......" (To be continued......
