Biography
David Boggs was born in Washington, D.C. to James Boggs and Jane (McCallum) Boggs on June 17, 1950.
Throughout 1973, they built several Ethernet interfaces for the
Boggs went to Stanford University for graduate study while working at Xerox, earning a master's degree in 1973 and a Ph.D. in 1982 in electrical engineering.[11] He wrote his dissertation on "Internet Broadcasting",[12] a concept which Steve Deering, also at Stanford, later expanded upon to IP multicasting.[13]
He was a fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery and received the IEEE Computer Society technical achievement award in 1988.[14][1] He was also one of the developers of the PARC Universal Packet protocol architecture.[15]
Boggs worked on the "Titan" project at the Digital Equipment Corporation Western Research Laboratory (DECWRL) after leaving Xerox.[16] He worked as a consultant in Silicon Valley and co-founded LAN Media Corporation (LMC) with Ron Crane.[17] In July 2000, LMC was acquired by SBE Incorporated and then SBE was acquired by Neonode in 2007.[18][19]
Boggs died of heart failure at Stanford University Medical Center in Stanford, California, on February 19, 2022, at the age of 71.[3]
