![]() ![]() ![]() Both of her parents worked as engineers for the US government. Perlman was born in 1951, Portsmouth, Virginia. As of 2022, she was a Fellow at Dell Technologies. More recently she has invented the TRILL protocol to correct some of the shortcomings of spanning trees, allowing Ethernet to use optimal use of bandwidth. She received lifetime achievement awards from USENIX in 2006 and from the Association for Computing Machinery’s SIGCOMM in 2010. She was elected to the Internet Hall of Fame in 2014, and to the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2016. Perlman was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2015 for contributions to Internet routing and bridging protocols. She also made large contributions to many other areas of network design and standardization: for example, enabling today's link-state routing protocols, to be more robust, scalable, and easy to manage. Her innovations have made a huge impact on how networks self-organize and move data. ![]() She is most famous for her invention of the spanning-tree protocol (STP), which is fundamental to the operation of network bridges, while working for Digital Equipment Corporation, thus earning her nickname "Mother of the Internet". She is a major figure in assembling the networks and technology to enable what we now know as the internet.
