CHAOSnet was a network protocol family invented at the MIT AI Laboratory. It provided a reliable byte stream service, but also had a datagram mode.
It originally ran on early custom LAN technology designed at the AI Lab - a CSMA-CD system modeled on the Xerox PARC 3 megabit/second Ethernet, running over cable TV cable, also called 'CHAOSnet'. It was later made to run over standard 10 megabit/second Ethernet.
There were implementations for at least ITS, TOPS-20, Lisp Machines, VAX/VMS, BSD Unix, and PDP-11 Unix V7.
