Design and Implementation of Software Protocol in VAX/VMS Using Ethernet Local Area Network
A 1983 technical thesis from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, written by Thawip Netniyom and archived by the Defense Technical Information Center, documenting a software protocol built on VAX/VMS over an Ethernet local area network. Its pictures are plain line diagrams: stacked seven-layer ISO reference models with arrows between host layers, a block diagram of the Ethernet controller board, and a transceiver cable schematic. A designer could borrow the clean boxed-stack diagram style for explaining system architecture or hierarchy.
