About Steelie Link.
Steelie Link started as a high school project by Jackson Huff in an effort to hone his networking skills. As he figured out, Steelie Link had major potential to be used all around the globe.
Concept
Steelie Link came about from Jackson's networking experiments. He wanted to learn OSPF in order to earn the CCNA certificate. However, as it turned out, his setup had potential.

Creation
After realizing the potential, he set off to create the implementation of Steelie Link as a standard. This gave way to the website and the standard you see today.
